A powerful and poignant journey inside a blue-jeans factory into the harsh world of sweatshop workers, unlawful by international standards. Shot clandestinely in China, under difficult conditions, this is a deep-access account of what both China and the international retailers don't want us to see -- how the clothes we buy are actually made. Following a pair of denim jeans from birth to sale, the power of the U.S. consumer market is linked to the daily lives of a Chinese factory owner and two teenaged female factory workers. This documentary provides a rare, human glimpse at China's rapid transformation into a free market society.
