Global Assembly Line, The*

• 1986 ----- color ----- 58 min ----- 16mm/vhs
• The new global economy is examined from Tennessee to Mexico's northern border, from Silicon Valley to the Philippines. Portrays the lives of working women and men in the "free trade zones" of developing countries and North America as U. S. industries close their factories to search the globe for lower-wage work forces. Shows the people who are making the clothing we wear and the electronic goods we use--as well as the business decisions behind manufacturing--on the global assembly line.
