DESCRIPTION:Blue Elephants (14 min.) Malaysia By PC Global films\nThis short 
 documentary shows the dire working conditions of migrant workers in the 
 Malaysian electronics industry. Men and women from Nepal, Indonesia and 
 other countries come as contract workers to work for Dell, HP, Intell and 
 other well-known brand companies. Migrant workers pay several thousands of 
 dollars in commission to labor agents to get work permits. Time to pay off 
 these debts is limited, while pay is low. Migrant workers face 
 discrimination in Malaysian society as well as on the work floor, and have 
 to accept bad housing conditions.\n\nMaximum Yield 29 min. (2011) By Kazmi

 Dust Settles - Uranium Miners In Australia 37 min. (2010)\nBy David 
 Bradbury\nAustralia is a major center of the mining of uranium. This film 
 shows how the mining companies recruit electricians and other workers who 
 are encouraged to work in the open pit uranium mines. Behind the clean 
 mining towns is dangerous contamination from the uranium mines. The film, 
 financed by the ETU (Australian Electrical Trade Unions), is a docu-drama 
 on how these workers and their families are bribed to take the jobs and 
 what the real cost of this mining 
 is.\nhttp://www.frontlinefilms.com.au/profile.htm\n See
