Áurea and Vander, maids all his life, reflect on the new law regulating the profession.
La industria textil fue uno de los motores de la Revolución Industrial del siglo XIX.

Y así nos lo quiere recordar The True Cost, un documental que nos alerta sobre la situación del sector textil y para cuya elaboración se ha buscado financiación en Kickstarter. Un total de 903 patrocinadores han contribuido para lograr recaudar 76.546$.
