Garment Workers in a Bangladesh Factory provide clothing for the US and European markets. In 2012 1,100 workers–nearly all young women and girls–were killed when a factory collapsed, another 112 died in 2013 when a fire broke out. The documentary Tangled Threads, produced by JTCW, tells their story.
"When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.' To this day, especially in times of 'disaster,' I remember my mother's words, and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers-so many caring people in this world."
