There is a special screening of the documentary 'The Machinist' which will be followed by a Q&A with Amirul Haque Amin (National Garment Workers Federation) and a garment worker from Bangladesh. The film is 50 minutes long and the Q&A will probably be only 20-30 minutes.
Director Hannan Majid said: “This is a special screening and this one of my favourite made. At times it was very risky but overall it was a fantastic shoot and I am really happy and proud that it is getting a UK screening.”
The Machinist was made for Al Jazeera and was shot in Bangladesh's capital city, Dhaka. The documentary is seen through the eyes of three garment workers and gives an insight into the lives of those that are making clothes for our high streets.
