T-Shirt Travels by Shantha Bloemen

This is a very interesting film by filmmaker Shantha Bloemen check out the post on Independent Lens at http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/tshirttravels/film.html

The film is about second hand clothing in Zambia
The journey begins in the United States, where clothes are dropped off in charity bins as an act of good faith. A simple T-shirt winds up half a world away at a marketplace in Zambia where teachers, nurses and civil servants who have lost their jobs have turned to selling secondhand clothes.
