Filmscreening und Gespräch: Made in EU

In the organizer's words:

The Fairtrade district of Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, together with the Berlin action group of the Clean Clothes Campaign, invites you to the public film and discussion evening "Made in EU" as part of the Europe Weeks.

Registration and reservation under this link.

Iva works in a textile factory in Bulgaria, where she sews "Made in EU" labels into clothes and barely makes ends meet. She is ill, but is not allowed to take sick leave. When she suddenly collapses next to the sewing machines, she is publicly suspected of being Bulgaria's first Covid case. The people - driven by fear - turn against her.

MADE IN EU is an intense and disturbing social drama. Based on true events, Stephan Komandarev tells the moving portrait of a woman who is broken by the inhumane system and reveals the catastrophic working conditions in Europe's textile industry.

Afterwards, we want to discuss the film critically with Jule Kautt from the Berlin action group of the Clean Clothes Campaign: What does the label "Made in EU" really mean?

What has the EU failed to do politically to make such exploitation possible within the Union and what responsibility does the European Union bear for labor standards in its member states? How does the Clean Clothes Campaign build public and political pressure to achieve real change?
And what can each and every one of us do through personal consumer choices and political commitment?

And what can each and every one of us do through personal consumption choices and political engagement?
