SUNDAY JULY 27: "CHINA BLUE", Documentary
IRWD Sand Canyon, 1:30 PM

"China Blue is a powerful and poignant journey into the harsh world of sweatshop workers. Following a pair of denim jeans from birth to sale, the film links the power of the U.S. consumer market to the daily lives of a Chinese factory owner and two teenaged female factory workers. China Blue delivers a surprisingly candid and detailed portrait of life inside a Chinese garment factory."

Refreshments at 1:00 PM
