Kelsey Timmerman, from rural Ohio, is the author of the book Where Am I Wearing.

The film ‘T-shirt Travels’ takes us to the Sub-Saharan African nation of Zambia, a country who in the 1960’s was know for having a thriving, domestic textile industry. As of late, with the countries immense amount of debt and the constant nagging of their creditors, such as the IMF, Zambia’s local economy has deteriorated and the textile industry has vanished.

When people hear brand names such as Nike and Gap, most individuals will immediately associate the brands with fashionable and expensive designer products. It is no doubt that most people have worn an item with these particular brand names on them.

Back then, they attracted many of the poor to rapidly growing big cities, such as London, and soon became a common way for low-skilled workers to earn money. Although sweatshops mostly exist in places with third world living conditions, it affects people on an international level. Today, Cambodia’s textile industry plays a key role in the exporting and manufacturing of garments worldwide. However, exploitation by factory owners, and lack of sweatshop monitoring led to heinous living conditions for garment workers (Meyers). During the past couple of years, garment workers have started to speak out for themselves, protesting on the streets, but while the wages of the workers did improve, it came with a price.

If they are dressed like they are going to a beach party or unkempt then it could not look right. They should also behave accordingly as well. If they are going in with a poor attitude it does not look good either. Not only does it not look good for the attorney but it also looks bad for his client.

Cambodia is a country that has endured an abundance of war and turmoil, however over recent decades the country has slowly recovered their rich culture and traditions that they lost during the Vietnam War.
