No Sweat

The modern fashion industry was build on "sweatshop" labor, where illegal workers toil under the radar of labor laws for substandard wages, without breaks or benefits. Enter American Apparel and SweatX, two fashion labels founded in downtown L.A. trying to do it differently. But while SweatX is an eco-friendly company founded by beloved ice-cream maverick Ben Cohen, American Apparel was built from the ground up by eccentric and controversial entrepreneur, Dov Charney, whose pornography inspired advertisements and sexual harassment lawsuits regularly draw criticism upon the company, despite its altruistic goals. NO SWEAT is a fast-paced documentary that goes behind the label, comparing two very different companies with a single goal: To take the sweat out of sweatshops. But do they have what it takes to survive in today's global market place?
