Six young fashion lovers swap shopping for the factories and backstreet workshops of India to learn how the clothes they wear are manufactured. They travel to West Delhi to live and work alongside the migrant tailors of a backstreet workshop, entering a world where the workers can spend up to 15 hours a day at their sewing machines, earn as little as 15p a garment and must then sleep on the factory floor next to their fellow workers and their machines.

Richard can’t get it through his privileged head that no one has ever given this man anything . Not even a place to sleep. Richard is clearly someone that can’t get out of his own head to even begin to understand the struggles others less fortunate may live with. These people don’t have parents that will take care of them or a nice home to go lay down at night. His inability to understand is indicative of someone that clearly doesn’t care about anything other than himself.

[@brendangeraghty8865]

"This is not the fashion industry", oh but it is, my dear. People choose to ignore where their designer crap is made and it makes me sick. I'd love to see a kardashian do this program.

[@Opa773]

Send your idea to producers. Sounds good to me .

[@stephaniejames3656]

I completely agree and love the idea of using the Kardashians.

[@TheRealWinser]

Richard's views on poverty aggravated me so much. Poor people can't just get up one day and decide to not be poor. He is quite clearly xenophobic and borderline racist. His smug face would get smashed in if he wasn't with the camera crew.

[@Hari-888]

Yeah, he is a bit too much in certain instances but I don't feel he is a bad person

[@boogiemonstermom677]

Absolutely agree. He doesn't realize that even though he worked hard to be where he's at today, his starting position that his parents afforded him, was a crucial contributing factor in what his life has become. I'm genuinely hoping that the talk he had with that worker, may have enlightened him enough to see the world in the many shades it is, because it isn't black and white like he wants it to be, but sadly, I want be getting my hopes up too high for him.

[@brandim]

Right, and there’s a caste system in India. You don’t get to do better and move up. You’re poor and always will be because of how their caste system is.

[@intermodus2180]

So what you're saying is, that not only is India filthy, but violent too🤔

[@beastmodeforever86]

All around ignorance. Richards the only person telling it as it is but do to the color of his skin you guys won't listen and go straight to racism. That's racism at its best & you all are perpetuating it. Good luck please change now before you divide us any further

[@Nikotastik]

Does Richard not realize that putting rubbish in a bin is pointless if there isn’t a public system to collect it from the bins? Waste removal is a luxury not everyone has.

[@jonasa7296]

you can’t expect much from some who thinks anyone can get themselves out of Extreme poverty by just working hard, even though he grew up in the Uk

[@BeckBeckGo]

@@jonasa7296 I mean to be fair, he grew up in a council flat and did to well for himself. But that's a lot easier in UK than it is in India..

[@jyeprice9382]

I don't have it. I have to drive 45 mins to the dump or burn what can be burnt compost what is biodegradable amd then drive to the recycling place for the bottles the very small amount left over is taken to the dump. It can be done.

[@jyeprice9382]

I agree with him they are filthy.

[@sharpaycutie2]

He’s a product of his own environment he doesn’t know better but he’s not wrong to be digusted by it ,it is gross and unsanitary but hopefully the community will change

[@shannondunn6933]

[@boogiemonstermom677]

Like watching animals in a cage at the zoo

[@j9p173]

I love how jerks always justify their rude and offensive behaviour by saying things like "I'm just being honest" and "I'm a passionate person"

[@SH-wk9xx]

The best part is when someone takes offence and turns the tables... then you’ll see the jerk begging

[@mikecee3058]

I always enjoy seeing the snowflakes quiver when someone is actually honest with them. Some people can't take the truth.

[@CrappyProducts]

This is not really about a sweat shop, is about spoiled brats

[@truet6400]

I think it's more about ignorance. They just don't know and they're young.

[@ladygreensleeves901]

Richard is just unable to see things from another angle

[@socialistsolidarity]

Yep, 5 mins in and he is already pissing me off.😂 They all seem like spoilt twats. I know this doco is old, but most of these people are getting on with their lives, probably don't recall this experience and Brits are still shopping at Primark or at any other fast-fashion stores. So yeh, I doubt conditions are have improved for these poor workers. Edit: OK Stacey probably was the only one that actually tried to learn from the whole experience.

[@roxy06ify]

Richard is a huge baby, dude man up and open your eyes. Geez terrible terrible work conditions.

[@truet6400]

Man up? Did you see his limp fish handshake?? There is no man there, he is just a simple still ignorant boy. Hopefully this gives him some education and appreciation.

[@awsomekid432]

Eye opening, this isn't even a scratch on the surface.

[@lacyrussell6688]

Oh I can’t stand Richard, such a spoiled self-centered boy.

[@ThatOddChickenHippie]

He certainly lives up to his name

[@margaretpeabody243]

The natives of India found the visitors very disrespectful as they gave out their homes. The Brits made fun of their simple living or complained of bad smells like children.

[@artin3141]

well go visit india .have nice journy😅😄

[@csumme7]

Interesting to see Stacey before she became a documentary maker. I saw the update to them and saw where they have ended up. Very interesting how this experience has changed their outlooks on life.

[@boogiemonstermom677]

Do you know the name of the documentary and if it's available on KZbin? I'd absolutely love to see it ♥️

[@aathanraan8819]

Having these type of people working in these conditions for a few days, while knowing they will be going back to their life, won't change a thing.

[@nickadams2361]

This is an unbelievable excellent format. As someone who lives in the US, this gives me an entirely different and more holistic perception then if this video was just about Sweat Shops without the people of different views and cultures experiencing them. Great job at Real Stories you guys are actually good journalists!

[@aztridu]

It happens here in USA also.

[@sharpaycutie2]

@@aztridu yea I heard California just had a bunch and we have laws forbidding this type of behavior

[@isolamar]

Average or BELOW average?

[@intermodus2180]

[@AlexBrennan]

I feel like these people learned nothing from this experience. Their arrogance and privilege shows.

[@boogiemonstermom677]

It's not bad to question why someone may be in the predicaments they are, but if you don't actually care about the answer to those questions or finding them, then be honest and just admit that it gives you an excuse to be a jerk to people who you perceive as beneath you 😒. Glad to see Richard finally swallowed his pride and have that conversation with one of the workers. Just not sure if it was enough to make a permanent impact on how he views people in these circumstances. I do hope it is though

[@EPBF1]

Hate this type stories bc never know what's real & the over dramatic. My Mom was seamstress&worked in sweat shop she got paid by piece...it was very hard work making multiple bundles of garments a day. She learned to sew by working in factories as child. Sometimes I went with her & made the cloth belts in order to save her time. On the days I went with her she could do more bundles then on the days I didnt. She was so good a women zealous of how fast she worked burnt my Mom with an Iron so she could get my Mom bundles hoping she slow her down but my Mom worked even with her burn. My Mom was an amazing women. The spoiled people in this documentary just upsets me. There arrogance & self entitlement disturbing.

[@mariekevanbergeijk7419]

Me 6:31 minutes in.... Empathy Richard empathy! What a soulless person you are, I truly hope you understand life one day 🙌🕉️

[@JJLewin1]

The purchasers are to blame for wanting everything at a bargain price. Just by demanding a low price causes poverty elsewhere. The poor souls who work day to day to provide for thier families deserve better. Too much money made through the supply chain and the demands of the importers. Greed is a horrible thing!

[@L3r4k]

Right. How many times have you paid over and above the price in a store? Or even donated money? Not exchanged, but significant amounts? India's problem is manifold. Corrupt government is one of several. Government officials robbed them all the time, high taxes, high bureaucracy, high inflation. How can an Indian accumulate enough wealth, in a timely manner, to buy machinery and undertake business, when much of his income is stolen, leaving little to survive? And you, pea brain, come to say that the problem is the consumers.

[@kmr985]

The harsh reality of where clothing apparel is made.

[@annietomkins9508]

This isn't what I was expecting, thought it would be a real place. This looks staged, and they probably only worked for an hour. The guy richard having tantrums is what makes this so fake. The dude trips out, apologises, does it again, and says he is sorry. They have to have a jackass, and then a person to act good. A real sweatshop isn't like this. I think they purposefully took footage of the worst part of town they could find. Harald Baldr, has a youtube channel that shows a real sweatshop making knock off shoes, and that was real. Bald and bankrupt travels around with Harald in india, and a few other places, and they make good video's, and not all of india looks like what they filmed. God bless everyone.

spoiled brits talking about poverty in INDIA, needs to educate themselves by googling bit of information on HOW BRITISH LOOTED 45 TRILLION FROM INDIA. INDIA was the one of the largest economies in the world for most of the next two and a half millennia, starting around the end of 1st millennium BCE and ending around the beginning of British rule in India.
