A heartbreaking work of staggering genius about the plight of Filipino overseas workers in Saipan. Produced and performed by Asian American Studies students at UCLA for a Filipino Ameican Experience Class!
It is a story that has reproduced itself in the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Island's garment, sexual slavery, domestic servitude, security, and construction industries. It is a story that humanizes the global problem of human trafficking for forced labor.
Funny how you guys say it's only filipinos but some are chinese and from other parts of asia. ooh well.. i heard about this already old news and i heard some of the sweatshops are moving to china.
Following is Chie's story, which illustrates the abuse, exploitation, powerlessness and vulnerability of hundreds and thousands of Chinese, Filipino, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan and Thai women and men who have left their countries in search for better opportunities for themselves and their families.
