Portrays the lives of working men and women in the "free trade zones" of developing countries and North America, as U.S. industries close their factories to search the globe for lower-wage work forces. From Tennessee to Mexico's northern border, and from Silicon Valley to the Philippines, this film "emerges as the definitive statement on the international division of labor and the growing importance of women in the industrial workforce." In 1986, 85% of the new work force in free trade zones was female aged 15 to 26.
