original description

In this short film, we travel to Cambodia's second largest city, Battambang, where we meet Chi Chamna, who makes 25 cents for every pants she sews -- hardly enough for this HIV-positive, widowed woman to survive, but better than nothing. For every pair of pants she makes -- she makes 25 cents. First the pants go to Thailand where labels are sewn in; after that, we're unsure where they end up. It is very possible that they end up on store shelves in the United States.To see more visit our blog at: www.facetoface.typepad.com/facetoface
