'Neighbours' is watched by 120 million people a day in over 50 countries. It is the image of Australia we present to the world and to ourselves. An overseas viewer could be forgiven for assuming that we are a nation of decent, generous, tolerant white people- but that’s not my Australia.

A fascinating approach to worker's rights by follwowing the production, consumption and disposal of beads from Fuzhon, China to New Orleans, USA.
