Starting
from the opening scene My Cultural Divide questions the logic of the hardcore
political activist, and wonders aloud whether ethical consuming actually does
anything good for the workers behind the machines. Because of family connections
director Faisal Lutchmedial makes his way into some of the worst factories
in Bangladesh, and talks frankly with the workers inside about their job and
living conditions.
Accompanied by his ailing mother, Lutchmedial takes us on a very personal
journey to bridge the gap between his heritage in Bangladesh and his life
in Canada. He connects his politics with his humanity, and weaves together
a story that is both thought provoking and touching.
