T-SHIRT TRAVELS

T-Shirt travels takes us from an urban charity clothing store in the US to a remote, desperately poor fishing village in Zambia, Southern Africa to investigate the second-hand clothes business, and examines the growing inequalities that exist between the rich and poor countries. This award-winning program reveals how poverty is tied to obstacles imposed by Third World debt; that poverty is exacerbated by the harsh economic conditions dictated by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.

As the population grows poorer and poorer, the enduring spirit and resilience of the people remain. We hear from villagers who sell secondhand clothes, and from other Africans who explain the challenges they face in a global economy.
The video is an excellent discussion starter for the examination of issues such as the movement for the abolition of Third World Debt and Structural adjustment programs imposed by the World Bank and the IMF.
