Schmatta: Rags to Riches to Rags



finally! it's available on dvd
i was thrilled to find this documentary on dvd at last. it is the optimum look at what's going on with american industry. a must watch.

Great History Lesson
Just a wonderful history lesson of the apparel Manufacturing rise and fall, From The Penthouse to the Outhouse is a couple of decades. A great lesson that we are all responsible for losing a vibrant high energy business to offshore manufacturing.

Fascinating...
An excellent documentary...engaging and accessible. Do you remember the little "Made in America" labels on clothing? I do. It was a big deal. By the way, when those ILGWU gals start converging onto the screen with the big, rollers-and-hairspray dos to form one B-A knot of united singers I was whooshed back to my parents cotton-floral couch in White Plains, NY. Seriously, that little segment just ambushed me. I got teary-eyed out of nowhere!
