:51:04
And anywhere
it puts its foot down
:51:06
it can be held
accountable.
:51:12
Originally Wal-Mart and
Kathy Lee Gifford had said
:51:15
why should we believe you that
children work in this factory?
:51:18
What we didnt tell them
was that Wendy Dias
:51:20
in the centre of the
picture was on a plane
:51:22
to the United States.
:51:23
This is Wendy Dias.
:51:24
She comes
to the United States.
:51:25
Shes unstoppable.
:51:27
Congress heard testimony
today from children who
:51:29
testified they were exploited
by sweatshops overseas.
:51:33
Kathy Lee Gifford
apologized to Wendy Dias
:51:35
It was the most
amazing thing Id seen.
:51:37
This powerful celebrity
leans over and says
:51:40
Wendy please believe me
:51:43
I didnt know these
conditions existed.
:51:45
And now that I do Im
going to work with you.
:51:47
Im going to work
with these other people
:51:48
and it'll never
happen again.
:51:50
And that night we signed
an agreement
:51:52
with Kathy Lee Gifford.
:51:54
I thought it would be
a relatively easy process
:51:55
and it isnt.
:51:57
As for every question
I have there seem to be
:51:59
five questions that
come back tome.
:52:01
As far as Wal-Mart
goes and Kathy Lee
:52:04
pretty much everything returned
to sweatshop conditions
:52:06
but because this was fought out
on television for weeks
:52:10
this incident with Kathy Lee
Gifford actually
:52:12
took the sweatshop issue
:52:13
took every single part
of the country.
:52:15
And so frankly
after that
:52:17
theres hardly a single
person in this country
:52:18
who doesnt know
about child labour
:52:19
or sweatshops or
starvation wages.
:52:41
So what wanted to do is
to look at the very roots
:52:46
of the legal form that
created this beast
:52:51
and wanted to think who
can hold them accountable.
:52:55
Theyre not
graven in stone.
:52:57
They can be dismantled.
:52:58
And in fact most
states have laws
