BANGLA DREAMS

FASHION SLAVES (BANGLA DREAM) is a documentary about three young women Ruma, Najnin and Sabina who all work for the textile industry in slum of Dhaka, Bangladesh. They started working as children and today are still just young people. They work up to sixteen hours a day in the factory to be able to support themselves and their families.
