Chaumtoli HuqLaw@theMargins Editor Chaumtoli Huq and documentary filmmaker Mohammad Romel are collaborating on a documentary on the labor movement in Bangladesh. The documentary aims to highlight the organizing efforts in the garment industry, efforts by workers to educate others on their trade union rights and in developing female leadership in the union, as well as ways allies abroad can show solidarity. Listen to Chaumtoli speak about the project with HuffPostLive here.
