DESCRIPTION:The Machinist (50 min.) 2010\nBy Hannan Majid & Richard York\nThis 
 important film shows the story of Bangladeshi garment workers by following 
 three Dhaka garment workers. It looks at their every day lives, their 
 struggles at home, the constant battles they face with their factory owners 
 and puts a face to the men and women who make clothes for GAP, Walmart, and 
 other companies. The owners of these factories, who are also in the 
 Bangladesh parliament, have murdered union organizers and violently prevent 
 their workers from gaining any labor and human rights.\n\n This film tells 
 this story through illuminating the lives of these workers and why the 
 recent industrial disasters are a logical result of the corruption and 
 corporate control of the government of Bangladesh.\n\nBhopali (89 min.) 
 2011\nBy Van Maximilian Carlson\nWith introduction by Dr. Jaysi Chander.\n 
 In 1984 in Bhopali, India, at the Union Carbide plant, there was a deadly 
 gas leak that killed over 20,000 people. The company now owned by Dow 
 Chemical refused to properly maintain the safety equipment in the plant, 
 and their criminal negligence cost the lives of workers and members of the 
 community. Today, there are hundreds of thousands of Bhopal families who 
 are still suffering from this man made catastrophe, and are fighting for 
 compensation and justice.\n\n It was the worst industrial accident in the 
 world, yet, Union Carbide executives have not spent a day in jail, and Dow 
 refuses to properly care of the thousands of workers and their families who 
 are still suffering for their cutting of costs.\n\n This film was made to 
 continue to struggle to break the information censorship by the corporate 
 media.\n\n The continuing industrial disasters show that these corporations 
 are not only out of control, but also flagrantly engaged in practices 
 leading to the murder of workers and residents in the driver for greater 
 profits at any cost.\n\nSee also:\nhttp://www.imdb.com/name/nm3438442/
