Should be fixed now
Hi, sorry, the file was set to only allow No Sweat members to download or play it. It should be possible now for anyone who is logged in as a user of the site to access the video. Obviously, it would still be good if you joined No Sweat...
If you are running a meeting
If you are running a meeting or informal discussion about this film here are some questions you might discuss and debate:
 Early in the film Dan Randall from No Sweat claims that the solution to ending sweatshop labour lies in the workplace organisation, not in our shopping baskets. Is he right? Is No Sweat saying that it doesn’t matter what you buy?
 Should we refuse to buy sweatshop-produced products? Is it even possible not to buy sweatshop-made goods and foodstuffs? What would the consequences be of refusing to buy, say, Nike trainers in protest at Nike’s profiteering at the expense of workers’ rights and pay?
 Is it good enough to be ‘anti-capitalist’? Is it even possible to be anti-capitalist? - after all, that’s all we’ve got.
 The anti-capitalist protests show a lot of violent scenes. Shouldn’t anti-capitalist oppose all violence? Is violence ever justified?
 The film looks at the Zanon tile factory, which has been taken over by the workers and run without bosses. Is this a freak occurrence caused by Argentina’s peculiar, specific, economic crisis, or are there really lessons for us here?
 At the end of the film No Sweat suggests a world without bosses is possible? Is this just nonsense? If it is possible, how? Hasn’t is been tried before in Eastern Europe, which was turned into a giant prison camp in the name of ‘socialism’?
