The Portland Mercury

 Happily lazing around in your jeans, are you? Well, let’s just hope you bought them secondhand so I don’t have to call you a heartless sweatshop lover. China Blue poignantly documents three teenage girls as they work and live in the dorms of a blue jeans factory, located far from their homes and families. The film clearly shows the how the girls endure horrible working conditions, measly pay, and just how easy it is for foreign buyers to pretend that everything is legit. Be forewarned: you may never want to wear jeans again.  By Erin LaCour
