Ciaran Griffiths, Kerrie Hayes, Holly Lucas.Based on a powerful true story, The Mill is a drama set in England in 1833, a time when industry is sweeping children as young as nine into the factories and mills to work 12-hour days. Injustice and suppression are the norm, but the world is changing and one feisty young girl takes a stand against the mill owners and their lackeys who rule the children's tired and hungry lives. Inside, Robert Greg (Jamie Draven), the mill owner's son, is taking over the business and modernising ruthlessly, while outside, civil disobedience is on the rise. Times are changing for better or worse and the balance of power is about to fall into the hands of a young girl called Esther Price (Kerrie Hayes).PG.DVD ; widescreen presentation ; Dolby digital.

The gown : a novel of the royal wedding / by Robson, Jennifer,1970-author.;
Includes bibliographical references."London, 1947: Besieged by the harshest winter in living memory, burdened by onerous shortages and rationing, the people of postwar Britain are enduring lives of quiet desperation despite their nation's recent victory. Among them are Ann Hughes and Miriam Dassin, embroiderers at the famed Mayfair fashion house of Norman Hartnell. Together they forge an unlikely friendship, but their nascent hopes for a brighter future are tested when they are chosen for a once-in-a-lifetime honor: taking part in the creation of Princess Elizabeth's wedding gown. Toronto, 2016: More than half a century later, Heather Mackenzie seeks to unravel the mystery of a set of embroidered flowers, a legacy from her late grandmother. How did her beloved Nan, a woman who never spoke of her old life in Britain, come to possess the priceless embroideries that so closely resemble the motifs on the stunning gown worn by Queen Elizabeth II at her wedding almost seventy years before? And what was her Nan's connection to the celebrated textile artist and holocaust survivor Miriam Dassin?" -- Amazon.com.

A successor to Wang Bing’s 2017 film Bitter Money, YOUTH is not an exposé of the garment industry. Instead, it draws us into the lives of its subjects — young people who don’t make their beds, worry about having the latest iPhone, and occasionally engage in a food fight.

Made in Ethiopia. by Duncan, Max,film director.; Yu, Xinyan,film director.; Collective Eye Films (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Originally produced by Collective Eye Films in 2024.When a massive Chinese industrial park lands in rural Ethiopia, a dusty farming town finds itself at the new frontier of globalization. The sprawling factory complex’s formidable Chinese director Motto now needs every bit of mettle and charm she can muster to push through a high-stakes expansion that promises 30,000 new jobs. Ethiopian farmer Workinesh and factory worker Beti have staked their futures on the prosperity the park promises. But as initial hope meets painful realities, they find themselves, like their country, at a pivotal crossroads. Filmed over four years with singular access, MADE IN ETHIOPIA lifts the curtain on China’s historic but misunderstood impact on Africa, and explores contemporary Ethiopia at a moment of profound crisis. The film throws audiences into two colliding worlds: an industrial juggernaut fueled by profit and progress, and a vanishing countryside where life is still measured by the cycle of the seasons. And its nuance, complexity and multi-perspective approach go beyond black and white narratives of victims and villains. As the three women’s stories unfold, MADE IN ETHIOPIA challenges us to rethink the relationship between tradition and modernity, growth and welfare, the development of a country and the well-being of its people.Mode of access: World Wide Web.
