Bangladesh – The Domino Effect

Two years ago, the world was shocked by the news of the largest construction catastrophe in the contemporary textile industry. In the capital of Bangladesh, Dhaka, an eight-story factory collapsed, leaving 1,137 people dead and 2,500 permanently injured. The fatalities and casualties also included children. This tragedy drew the attention of the world to the issue of exploitation and child labor. When shooting the first episode of the 2nd season of “The Domino Effect,” we visited Dhaka and an organization called Educo, which helps working children find time for education.
