Sweatshop: The Hunt for a Living Wage

Streaming video - 2016

In 2014, three young fashion bloggers came to Phnom Pehn for the first time to spend a month and live the life of a Cambodian garment worker. At the time, they did not know much about how their clothes were made and were horrified to find the conditions at the factories. The show provoked headlines and articles all over the world and companies like H&M were forced to respond.. In this sequel, Anniken and Frida Ottesen from the first season are joined by two other bloggers, Sarah Tjulander and Lisa Tellbe. These four Scandinavian women return to Cambodia as activists -- no longer tourists -- to visit H&M’s factories after a personal invitation from the clothing-retail company. They return to Cambodia’s sweatshops, enter the facto...ries, and meet with some workers and activists from the first series to see if anything has changed.
