Santa’s Workshop – Inside China’s Slave Labour Toy Factories

This is one of the most important films, I’ve seen this month.

Just last Wednesday I went to the toy store BR to buy Christmas presents for my nieces. Every time I’m in there I get surprised because of how cheap toys are! You can get very cool toys for such low prices. And this makes me buying more…

Watch this Swedish documentary. It’s in English. And it really makes you think…

Whenever I think about where the toys come from, I think of machines and robots. But these Chinese ladies are human – even though they are treated as robots.

And the toys buyers and chains in Europe (and the rest of the world) excuse themselves with: “Yeah, but the thing is, the consumers doesn’t want to pay more”.

I think this is a huge lie. I know for a fact, that I would buy toys that were more expensive. I’d probably just buy less. But my nieces don’t need 5 pieces of toys either! They would be just as happy with just 2 great pieces of toys.

Thanks to @margearu for showing me this film
