Inhalt:
This documentary shines the spotlight on some of the darker sides of the globalized production of computers and highlights these in contrast to the "clean" image of the industry. The living and working conditions of migrant workers in southern China are of specific interest. In addition, the film looks at the problems of electronic waste materials shipped illegally from Germany to developing countries. Labourers and labour rights activists tell us their experiences. The documentary was produced by WEED - World Economy, Ecology & Developement - in the scope of the PC Global project. The PC Global Project advocates labour and environmental rights in global computer production and is part of the European campaign procurelTfair - sustainable purchasing of computers.
