“A bracingly physical documentary about the true cost of cheap labor.” (Indiewire)

Marrying stunning visuals with social advocacy, Rahul Jain’s debut documentary—winner of the Special Jury Award for Cinematography at Sundance—takes audiences into the labyrinthine passages of an enormous textile factory in Gujarat, India. Jain’s camera wanders between pulsating machines and bubbling vats of dye to create a moving portrait of the human laborers who toil there for 12 hours a day to eke out a meager living. Interviews reveal the stark inequality and dangerous working conditions brought about by unregulated industrialization in the region—a political message delivered amid the unsettling beauty of the factory’s mechanical underworld and the colorful, billowing fabrics it produces.
