Teenagers go free. Three teenage students take a journey around India on a mission: to source their own fair trade school shirt. They travel through the heart of India’s cotton growing areas and are shocked when they meet child workers who are commonly used in the cotton fields, and see the harmful effects of pesticides. In the cities they visit an orphanage and meet children who have been rescued from garment factories. To make their ethical shirt they need organic fair trade cotton and a factory which treats and pays workers fairly.
