Planet Money T-Shirt

NPR's Planet Money made an incredible documentary on the making of a t-shirt.  Meeting the individuals in Bangladesh and Colombia who actually made the t-shirt was illuminating, and amazing.  We had a great viewing, and in-class discussion about it today at school, in AP World History.  

It helped all of us realize that the items we buy are made by real people, with their hands.  It introduced us to individuals on the other side of the world, who are living their lives and following their passions -  just like us.
