The film documents the exploitation of garment workers in Bangladesh with the personal stories of three young women working in factories in Dhaka.

After a day at the factory, the woman begins another shift as a volunteer at the union office run by the National Garment Workers Federation (NGWF).

Garment workers march through the streets demanding a fair living wage and safe working conditions despite the threat of losing their jobs for participating in the protest.
