Lured by false promises and driven by desperation, thousands of Chinese and Filipina women pay high fees to work in garment factories on the pacific island of Saipan - the only U.S. territory exempt from labor and immigration laws. The clothing they sew, bearing the �Made in the USA� label, is shipped duty and quota-free to the U.S. for sale by The Gap, J. Crew, Polo and other retailers.�

Powerful hidden camera footage, along with personal stories, offers a rare and unforgettable glimpse into indentured labor and the workings of the global sweatshop - where 14 hour shifts, payless paydays and lock-downs are routine.� �Behind the Labels� takes the story from the factory floor to the streets, where protesters worldwide wage an ongoing battle against globalization.�

�Behind the Labels� was produced and directed for WITNESS and Oxygen by two-tme Emmy Award nominated producer Tia Lessin.� WITNESS�equips human rights defenders with video cameras, and trains them to use video and technology to create change.�
