Boston's women and children worked in terrible slum tenement conditions in the 1800s. They would used as cheap labour, sewing garments and working long hours in appalling conditions, either in pest infested fire traps or in small lofts and cellar rooms. Sweatshop workers were paid so little for their work, that the long hours they toiled didn't even earn enough money to pay for rent and food. This documentary gives an account of a pastor's visit to sweatshop workers and the appalling conditions in which they lived and worked.
