Today's special, Fashion Revolution Week episode takes a deep dive into what happened at Rana Plaza. I answer questions like, "what made the building collapse?" and "who was behind that disaster? why did they let it happen?" It was difficult to research and I worked hard to give the event the respect it deserved. Nobody should have to risk their lives every day so we can buy $8 t-shirts.
What led up to the collapse: 7:27
The collapse: 15:47
What occurred after the collapse: 18:29
What has changed between April 24, 2013, and 2020: 28:10
