Focus Years: 2004 | Country: Sweden
Synopsis:
"Santa's Workshop" takes you to the real world of China's toy factories.
Low labor costs attract more and more companies to China. Today more than 75% of our toys are made in China. But this industry takes its toll on the workers and on the environment.
Workers tell us about long working hours, low wages and dangerous work places. Those who protest or try to organize trade unions risk imprisonment.
The Swedish buyers blame bad conditions on the Chinese suppliers. But they say that increasingly hard competition gives them no option.
Who should we believe? And what can you do to bring about a fairer and more humane toy trade?
