Americans consume nearly 20 billion new items of clothing each year. Yet few of us know how our clothes are made, much less who produces them. Cotton Road http://www.cottonroadmovie.com/about/ follows the commodity of cotton from South Carolina farms to Chinese factories to illuminate the work and industrial processes in a global supply chain. See the trailer at: https://vimeo.com/105490261.

Filmaker Laura Kissel has been invited to discuss the film. The event is co-sponsored by ILRF and the DC Labor Film Fest.
