The Hidden Face of Globalization
10 min - short film - consumerism, globalization 1243 views - website

In the global economy, corporations demand enforceable laws - intellectual property and copyright laws - backed up by sanctions to protect their products. However, when we ask these same companies, "Can't we also protect the rights of the 16-year-old who made the product?," the companies respond: "No. That would be an impediment to free trade!" Young garment workers in Bangladesh share their experiences working for companies like Disney and Wal-Mart.

When will people understand that nothing is cheap? If you are not paying the price then someone (or something, in the case of factory farm animals) is paying the price; often with their lives and potential. Theses corporations care about nothing besides money. They don't care about humanity, peace, God, anything. God help us.
