The dollar a day dress Cover Image DVD DVD

The dollar a day dress [videorecording] / BBC.

Bradshaw, Steve. (Added Author). British Broadcasting Corporation. (Added Author).

Summary:

Steve Bradshaw travels to Mali, Uganda, Peru and Cambodia. In each country he tries to collect locally-produced fabric for London College of Fashion students to make into a symbolic dress. This dress represents the plight of the more than one billion people who live on a dollar a day or less because of the world's trade system, specifically subsidies to farmers in Europe and the U.S. of almost $300 billion a year, six times the amount the West gives in aid, which makes it extremely difficult for poor countries to exploit their trade advantage.
