1. If it were up to you to make the decision, would you let the sweatshop workers become legal U.S. citizens? Why or why not?

-yes i would make them legal citizens. i would because they are not much different from us.the need money, they need food, the need clothes,and its not fair that they have to have low pay for something that cost way more money than they make in a month.

2. Describe a moment in from parts 1, 2, or 3 of this movie that you found particularly memorable? Why?

- some thing that i found memorable was that she had so many kid on a very low budget. and i was thinking that mabeye when they get older they can get jobs.and they wont be so poor.

3. By the end of part 3, the protestors seem to be giving up hope. If you were able to speak to the group, what would you say to them to inspire them to keep going?

- i would say that they can get through with this and that i will try to get the word out.also that i will support you.

1. How much do Nike workers make in Indonesia each day? How many hours a day do they work?

they probably worked about 9 hours and made like $2.00 a day.

2. What is life like for Indonesian Nike workers at home?

They do not have the kind of money that we have.they probably can't even afford decent clothing, or good and healthy food.they are children and that counts a child labor.

3. Why won’t Nike talk to Jim or Leslie or let them visit the shoe factory?

i do not know who Jim or Leslie is , but i think Nike wont let them visit the factory because Nike does not want to let anybody know about child labor.
