In this globalizing world, international conglomerates are seeking more and cheaper labour every day, Bangladesh became the 2nd largest provider of world clothing, which is led by China. In only 4 decades, it has become a 25 Billion US$ export industry, directly engaging 4 million workers, primarily women. Now, these corporations are targeting to hit 50 Billion US$ by 2021. That will mean that they need even more labourers at a cheaper price! 'Testimony of a Thread' explores the connecting worlds of hope and despair around this industry which has been marked by human-caused catastrophes like the Savar Building Tragedy (2013), considered the deadliest garment-factory accident in history and the deadliest accidental structural failure in modern human history.
