And that's partly why it wouldn't matter. People generally connect Foxconn with Apple stuff, and will then boycott by buying other computing products that are also manufactured by Foxconn.
and would make the ending more tragic. this young member could simply have a bad day etc so him staring bleakly into the camera wouldnt affect me much. how about the plot is about parents who (at the beginning) lost their child that commit suicide cause working 19 hours a day was bit too much, and at the end from overprivilaged, undereducated spoiled teenager camera cuts back to mom and dad hand by hand jumping from a factory roof. i think that would do it.
All the photos I've seen of the factories in question are as well-lit as American factories. The working conditions are poor, but they're far better than what early American and British workers endured during the industrial revolution.
Also, such a film would only be complete if it documented the nerve and joint damage caused to American vinyl and PVC manufacturers not given proper ventilation. Would you listen to a blood record, or defecate in a blood sewer pipe?
That's pretty funny, because last time I checked, films were considered art and used to tell whatever story the writers and directors want to tell. Good luck finding a "complete" film to your standards.
Call me cynical, but everyone loves cheap products much more than far removed suicides of random people half way across the globe.
Simply, the working conditions might be extra bad at FoxConn, but they're bad everywhere else in the general area. The wealth of cheap workers who are willing to work in horrible conditions for pay is still great, and it would take a LOT more suicides than Foxconn has employees for that situation to change for the better. I think.
