Kids For Sale Pt 1

[Canmore, AB 12-03-09] It was about a 18 months ago I posted some incredible videos from youtube that were originally from a BBC documentary titled “Blood, Sweat and T-Shirts. The BS&T series is incredible as 6 young adults from the UK who love to purchase lots of clothing go to India to work in the fashion clothing manufacturing industry beginning in the cotton fields west of Delhi and then all the way to the factories in the slums of Mumbai. These young adults are completely laid bare as they witness and participate in the clothing industry Soon after I posted the youtube videos they were removed because copyright restrictions. Was I ever disappointed.

Today I decided to search online regarding the series and came across a new documentary that has spun off of Blood, Sweat, & Tshirts. Stacey Dooley, one of the people who participated in the initial BS&T series was so moved by her involvement that she has become a social justice advocate for children. She hosts a documentary series titled Kids For Sale.

Kids for Sale is currently posted on youtube and I am going to try again to post these videos over the next week or two. Hopefully the vids will not be removed as the last series was. I am posting part 1 of 6 parts to this initial show in this blog entry. If you have 10 minutes please click on play below and become aware of the huge needs out there…
