The idea that you wear an item once & throw it away is the problem. Who does that? Even if something is $5, I wear it more than once.
They made fun of the host family’s entire life and they’re going to be offended!! So entitled!
I pray for these workers in these shops (women, men and children). They succeed beyond this shop and find opportunities to prosper else where 
I used to work at a sewing factory in the US. We made dress uniforms. This looks bout the same working conditions, same speed, all that, we sewed 1,500 a day. Of course you can’t leave the line without a floater. These kids obviously have never worked or something. But the thing is, these guys in India are only making pennies an hour, this sucks. And they have child labor. A child should never be working in a factory like this. Hope this is an eye opener for people.
A lot of us think we are free. But this is where life is and what it actually is.
I’m a northeast Indian myself and I’d say from the bottom of my heart that the working long hours and earnin only Rs 114 per day is the most horrible thing. Terrible working condition and the wages is a nightmare. Its dream of becoming super power after 20 years is just an impossible dream. India is indeed one of the poorest countries in the world.
i went to India for the first time when I was 22. Nothing can possibly prepare you. India was a lot less developed too back in 1994. It’s funny that before you go, whatever you imagine it’s going to be like doesn’t even come close to the reality. Having said that, after the initial shock I loved the place.
Nervous laughter will get you into trouble everytime! If you are the guest, you must be self aware. Hopefully, what the host told these kids was ‘a life lesson’ for them all? They got off very easy. In other cultures, there is punishment for disrespectful behaviour. We should all do a little better, at being self aware. Asking ourselves: “How are my actions & mannerisms being perceived by my hosts? Am I being rude?”
Perhaps doing a little research on the customs, of the countries we are visiting? We might not always get it right, but it certainly goes a long way if your host(s) see that you are trying. Long after this documentary ends, is edited & released, that family will live in that home & work at that shop. Their life might not be much to some people but, it is theirs! They have been kind & curtious to their guests. They asked for nothing in return. They least they deserve is some respect & compassion.

And this is what happens when you raise a spoiled brat. Someone gets on to them a little bit and they have a meltdown. They are obviously use to getting their way. I don’t feel bad for them at all. Plus they signed up for this.
Wow I’ve been to India twice and it really is eye opening. On the one hand it’s life full force in your face. A caste system still actively on display. Some really bad conditions and yes, smells. On the other hand such really sweet people. The young ones seem so innocent like maybe the 1950s in the states. All of them wanting to be singled out for just any small good thing. Loved the people. The country, wow, not as much. I am SPOILED.
56:23 Wow, this guy just reeks of privilege
It’s interesting to watch this because I sew things all the time so what they’re having to do at the machine should be super easy for them even not knowing how to do anything, I used to have to work till one or 2 o’clock in the morning on clothing and costumes constantly so working long hours sewing it’s nothing new to me. I wish these people got paid more at least I got 6.25$ an hour.
“It doesn’t affect me if it is made by a 3 year old or a 50 year old”… Great mentality, Amrita…
It’s insane to me that some of them want to design but don’t know anything about construction at all. So many people in love with the idea of being Karl lagerfeld & vera Wang….don’t have the ambition to learn it all.
I remember when this documentary was aired in the UK, I wonder where are these young Brits now, if the experience changed their approach on fast fashion. We can see a very young and bouncing Stacey Dooley.
Going off how young Stacy Dooley is here, the footage is about 15, 16 years old. I wonder what has changed since then.
How much do you want to bet the production company didn’t pay the workers for letting the brits stay in their homes?
If someone says, “No more jokes about how poor we are.” It doesn’t matter if you see it. It doesn’t matter if you did it. It doesn’t actually matter if it was a miscommunication, or lost in translation. It doesn’t matter if it even happened. What matters is that your future friend had their feelings hurt in the past. Your future friendship and understanding is at stake…. That’s what matters. Even if you immediately catch that you, somehow, insulted, nay, cut to the bone at someone’s heart, you have to push the remorse and regret, even bewilderment aside and address the wound, with the best, Loving, sincere words you can muster. Words that salve the Soul. Because, a wound cannot be taken back, but remediation applied immediately, generously and with love, can help the scar be negligible
Reminds me of the Norwegian documentary Sweatshop. Sometimes the best way to get these things across is to have someone you can relate to try to walk in others’ shoes.
They keep saying they made an effort, as if that makes anything right. Those workers cannot just make an effort. And they were laughing at her house and acting shocked. This is privelege….
I worked at TJ Maxx warehouse, those shirts cost about two or three dollars a piece wholesale from the factory
At first you think the 6 are going to transcend, meet all the sewing deadlines and accept the culture. In actuality they labored poorly and continued to whine and complain.
I really want to see part 2 of this!!!
Didn’t people have to make their own clothes? I’m sure we would appreciate them and people’s hard work to make them!
These aren’t fashion lovers, they’re trend obsessed. & Not all clothing is made in the same place. Go somewhere that manufactures clothing that sells for more than $20 & it’s a different story. Sweatshops have too much demand for things like double sticking. & Yes, some people don’t have a choice, but there’s also the reality these are developing areas. In places like India, it’s not like there’s no money. There isn’t a tax system & benefits like most western places.
Helped me understand why there are so many telemarketing and computer scammers in India, since actual work afforded there is so incredibly awful. Any way to make a buck without enduring countless hours on a factory floor for pennies!
What can we do to improve workers conditions???
Most of these youngsters haven’t a creative bone in their body. Life is what you make of it. Spend a few bucks at the thrift shop and get yourself a few pieces to alter and cherish that will stand the test of time. So far in this ‘journey’, the reality of the situation is completely lost on them. It is the throwaway fashionistas of the world that keep countries like this in poverty. Clearly, on the minds of the residents is knowledge of who is actually pulling the strings.
What an interesting topic!
Should update on sweatshops in the uk done by illegal workers.
And to think that so many of us amongst the small parts of the world’s population that are fortunate enough to live in relative comfort (CORRECTLY!) think that our lives are depressing and purposeless. How miserable the world is with the way things are currently done…
I think after being there I would start making my own clothes… LMAO….
Amrita is the perfect example of the caste system in India. She’s not bothered at all by how it works, but in developing nations, no one would. If you’re lucky enough to not be at the bottom, you just live & be happy. & India being a “super power”….I don’t know. The population is going to dwindle very quickly & not be able to support the sweatshops.
It’s like Richard is trying to be the most unlikeable person ever.
This is just an adventure for them. This is not their lives, so it’s meaningless.
This is awesome!!!
Oh wow, Stacey Dooley’s origin story.
Fair play to Tara
This is why these workers should start unions . This is exactly why unions were started in the United States . To protect workers . But Trump supporters will tell you that starting unions is socialism.
Next do: Can meat lovers survive a slaughter house?
How the wonderful Stacey Dooley started out!!
“I’m just blowing it on random cr*p.” What’s that moment of epiphany worth? Priceless….and India gifted it to her
Is that a young Stacey Dooley?
Stacey Dooley so young omg
this is just the diff between developing nations and developed nations in general. Or the diff between up and down classes. rich and poor just all over this world.
omg they are just.. i need words. they need to learn a very important word: Respect. shame on u!
I’m sure the girl Stacey in this is in fact Stacey Dooley?
Its crazy to see how much they’re complaining. They should try being CNAs
This Indian chick’s dad has gotta be so proud whahahah /s
This is the real price of the cheap clothes in First World Countries.
Whoa Richard is so rude throughout
We don’t have immune systems like they do
they have more wealth than you
they have more wealth than you
How old is this? Stacey Dooley is a very young woman with no thoughts of Kevin Clifton.
This is something every sjw should go threw, because they think they have it so bad when i reality they take what they have for granted
God please come help the India People
Prime example of liking the sausage but not how it’s made
I think that might be the way forward for Me.
I gotta find me a red haired Brit that’s not too dim
I gotta find me a red haired Brit that’s not too dim
How come no one is talking about how Georginas Dad is Josh Widdicombe?
where is part 2?
I’m watching this in bed while eating dinner, life is tough.
So, if all of these happened in China instead, how do the main media report it? Like Xinjiang Muslim minorities casw?
Not everything is Bollywood in India. So you thought it will be a Picnic when you went.
If that guy made £50,000 …
