The Label Doesn’t Tell the Whole Story

Rethink Canada in Vancouver has helped Canadian Fair Trade Network draw attention to the people around the world working tirelessly in unsafe conditions, by adding their stories to clothing labels. The long labels on a suit jacket, sweater and hoodie carry the tag line “The Label Doesn’t Tell The Whole Story”, and the message: “It’s time for change. Buying fair-trade ensures workers are being compensated fairly and not exposed to unsafe work conditions.”

Fair Trade End Child Labour Label Doesn't Tell The Whole Story - Suit Jacket

100% Cotton. Made in Bangladesh by Joya. Who left school at the age of twelve to help support her two brothers and newly-widowed mother. Her father was killed when a fire ripped through the cotton factory where he worked. Now she works in the building across the street from the burned down factory. A constant reminder of the risk she takes every day. The label doesn’t tell the whole story.

Fair Trade End Child Labour Label Doesn't Tell The Whole Story - Sweater

100% cotton. Made in Cambodia by Behnly, nine years old. He gets up at 5:00 am every morning to make his way to the garment factory where he works. It will be dark when he arrives and dark when he leaves. He dresses lightly because the temperature in the room he works reaches 30 degrees. The dust in the room fills his nose and mouth. He will make less than a dollar, for a day spent slowly suffocating. A mask would cost the company ten cents. The label doesn’t tell the whole story.

Fair Trade End Child Labour Label Doesn't Tell The Whole Story - Hoodie

100% cotton. Made in Sierra Leone by Tejan. The first few times he coughed up blood he hid it from his family. They couldn’t afford medical treatment and he couldn’t risk losing his long-time job at the cotton plantation. When he fell into a seizure one day it could no longer be ignored. The diagnosis was pesticide poisoning. The lack of proper protective clothing has left him with leukemia at the age of 34. He has two daughters. One of them starts work at the factory next year. The label doesn’t tell the whole story.

"CLOSE YOUR EYES" | Run The Jewels


“Close Your Eyes (And Count To Fuck)” by Run The Jewels, Featuring Zack De La Rocha. Starring Keith Stanfield + Shea Whigham AG Rojas, Writer + Director Mary Ann Marino + Jackie Kelman Bisbee, Executive Producers Peter Vitale, Producer Michael Ragen, Cinematographer Chris Jones, Production Designer Natasha Newman-Thomas, Wardrobe Stylist Justin Dial, Editor Gregory Reese, Colorist @ The Mill Laurie Devine + Jamie Kohn Rabineau, Assoc. Producers Michael Dignum, First Assistant Director Ari Robbins, Steadicam Operator Bobby Wotherspoon, Gaffer Ryan McGuire, Key Grip Chris Gutierrez, Locations Special Thanks to Christopher Black + Scott Greenberg + Terri Taylor + and everyone at The Mill When Run The Jewels sent me this track, I knew we had the opportunity to create a film that means something. I felt a sense of responsibility to do just that. We had to exploit the lyrics and aggression and emotion of the track, and translate that into a film that would ignite a valuable and productive conversation about racially motivated violence in this country. It’s provocative, and we all knew this, so we were tasked with making something that expressed the intensity of senseless violence without eclipsing our humanity. For me, it was important to write a story that didn’t paint a simplistic portrait of the characters of the Cop and Kid. They’re not stereotypes. They’re people – complex, real people and, as such, the power had to shift between them at certain points throughout the story. The film begins and it feels like they have been fighting for days, they’re exhausted, not a single punch is thrown, their violence is communicated through clumsy, raw emotion. They’ve already fought their ways past their judgements and learned hatred toward one another. Our goal was to highlight the futility of the violence, not celebrate it. I am really proud of where we ended up, and I am very thankful that our actors Shea Whigham and Keith Stanfield committed to these characters 100%. They breathed complex life into two people who are usually portrayed in simplistic ways – as archetypes. I can tell you it was an emotional shoot day. It is tough to re-create moments that are so fresh and prevalent in our world today. It affected all of us in deep ways. But I believe that it is important that the way we feel when we see these events in real life has an effect on us. That we resonate with what we know to be right and we don’t numb ourselves out so those feelings can simply be swept away, we must confront them and take some action, however small, or we’ll be stuck in the same cycle of violence and hate.

(ENGLISH SUBS) The Legend of Lucky Pie – What's That Sound (Who Makes That Voices) / 幸运派传说 – 什么声音


EDIT: for some reason the music at 4:33 was changed in the source I pulled this video from. Whoops. You can hear the original music at Tudou.

The first episode of The Legend of Lucky Pie 幸运派传说, by Yi Mu Mu 蚁木木, a group of students from Peking University. Bears absolutely no resemblance to any other animated shows about the adventures of a sword-wielding boy and his animal friend.

Original video on Tudou: http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/WiwrTPgJ6x4

Looking At Time || The Portrait of a Watch Repairman


LOOKING AT TIME is a portrait of SALIM SHARIFF, a 72-year-old watch repairman originally from Bombay, India, now living & working in the Jackson Heights neighborhood of Queens, NY. The film profiles Salim’s love for America, a country he came to in hopes of a better future, not only for himself, but for his family – most of whom stayed behind in India upon his move here in the early 1980’s, and still remain there today. The piece also delves into how the rising rent prices in the greater NYC area have effected Salim, and details how the boom in technology has actually been a detriment to Salim’s business, as more people are using their cellular devices to tell time, than wrist watches. This is a gentleman, who at the tender age of 72, relies totally and completely on his hands to not only provide for himself but to also help provide for an immediate family an entire world away.
