Blood, Sweat and T-shirts

I was first enlighten about the cruel back street world behind the British High Street in 2008 when I was just 15 years old when BBC 3 first aired the eye opening documentry 'Blood, Sweat and T-shirts' where they took 6 young fashion lovers and they swappped the high street and shopping for working in clothing factories and back street workshops in India. A million miles away from the glitz and glamour of the high street. You really got to see the brual side of fashion where workers worked 18 hour days, 6 days a week in the soaring heat, producing 10,000 garments a day for popular British high street chains. Many of the workers were forced to survive on a measley £2.00 a day. I found this so shocking that this sort of behaviour still existed when we are so advances in some ways and so backwards in others.
