PEOPLE AND LABOR IN CHINA, April 5th

FIRST THURSDAY FORUMS: A MONTHLY SERIES OF IDEAS, POLITICS, AND CULTURE


We will be screening 'China Blue', a documentary on sweatshops, exploitation, and power in the global economy.
CHINA BLUE, which was made without permission from the Chinese authorities, offers an alarming report on the economic pressures applied by Western companies and the resulting human consequences, as the real profits are made—and kept—in first-world countries. The unexpected ending makes the connection between the exploited workers and U.S. consumers even clearer.

When:
Thursday April 5th, 7:30pm

Where: 
Friends Meeting House, 4836 Ellsworth Avenue
