SWEATSHOP – I can´t take any more • Hacker News Board

Also it's kind of funny that you should ask, since as a Swedish person, you're probably better-equipped than the majority of HN readers to understand a few words of Norwegian. :)

Here's a trailer, with English subtitles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SCHfV97D7I.

Hey, Swedish guy here. Any link to a non-Norwegian page with this content?

It shows in English for me here.

Quartz also had a brief article on it: http://qz.com/333940/what-three-norwegian-fashionistas-learn...

The BBC did their own version of this in 2008 called Blood Sweat and T Shirts.

The gimmick was that most of the kids were ludicrous pampered upper middle class fashion students with no sense of perspective, or at least the programme was edited to portray them as such. Much of the entertainment came from watching them subjected to backbreaking labor while their self-contained worldviews crumbled around them.

The Danish version had the same angle.

They where terrible at the sweatshop work, but wouldn't admit it. One of them ended up stealing food from the film crew.
