Hell For Leather – examines the shocking human and environmental cost of the leather trade in Southern Asia.
Filmed secretly inside Bangladesh over a two week period, the investigation reveals how leather used in consumer goods such as shoes, handbags, trinkets and luxury car interiors – some of which find their way onto European high streets – is linked to serious health problems and environmental degradation for the impoverished communities living and working in Hazaribagh, Dhaka's major leather producing area.
