Either you unaware, don't care or you're a hypocrite. It's pretty much impossible to live in an industrialised society without fucking up the world or other people.
As consumer hypocrisies go this one is pretty mild. One film and the international clothes trade aren't remotely on the same scale.
20,000 Indian cotton farm workers die from exposure to agri-chemicals annually. Constant overuse of fertilisers renders land inarible without chemicals. A lot of indian families go under when they can't afford to buy fertilizers. There's about 1 suicide a week among Indian farmers. All so we can buy cheap cotton vests.
As skanky as it is, underpaying/exploiting a few kids doesn't actually kill or impoverish them or their communities.
