The Global Assembly Line

"The subject is so rich...an informative hour...Gray's sympathy for the workers in both countries gives her work heart."
The New York Times

MORE ABOUT THE FILM

Traveling from Tennessee to Mexico's northern border, from Silicon Valley to the Philippines, The Global Assembly Line takes viewers inside our new global economy. A vivid portrayal of the lives of working women and men in the "free trade zones" of developing countries and North America, as U.S. industries close their factories to search the globe for lower-wage workforces. We take a rare look at the people who are making the clothing we wear and the electronics goods we use--as well as the business decisions behind manufacturing--on the global assembly line.

Produced by Lorraine W. Gray with Anne Bohlen and Maria Patricia Fernandez Kelly. For more information about The Global Assembly Line, please visit www.globalassemblyline.info.
