One excellent film on the globalisation of labor is "The Emperor's New 
Clothes" from the Canadian Film Board. Its main focus is NAFTA, viewed on 
many levels, concluding with a visit by Canadian auto workers to a 
Mexican plant where the work Canadians did is now being done. This is a 
very stylish film visually and in all ways. Not your usual documentary. 
Has anyone mentioned American Dream? Before showing it, read other work 
about the Hormel-P9 strike to get background on the complexities which are 
only sketched out in the video. My students are always bowled over by 
this one.
