       2006. 
520    An all-American tale about an all-American garment: The T-
       shirt. NO SWEAT takes a wild ride into the bowels of Los 
       Angeles garment industry. Mostly undocumented workers at 
       American Apparel and SweatX are offered better wages, 
       benefits, even a shot at worker-ownership. But what is 
       really behind the label?. Dark, dingy factories. Workers 
       hunched elbow-to-elbow over machines. Nike. Guess. Kathy 
       Lee Gifford. We are all too familiar with sweatshops, 
       operating both in the U.S. and overseas. But does whats 
       behind the label of what you wear always have to be linked
       to worker exploitation?. Enter SweatX and American Apparel,
       two hip T-shirt factories that operate in downtown Los 
       Angeles , just blocks from each other. Both companies are 
       committed to creating sweat-free clothing (i.e. their 
       workers earn livable wages and get benefits, work in safe 
       environments, etc). While Sweat X is backed by $2.5 
       million from ice cream-maker turned social activist Ben 
       Cohen, (of Ben and Jerrys Ice Cream), American Apparel was
       built from the ground up by controversial self-described 
       Canadian schmata hustler, Dov Charney.. NO SWEAT is a fast
       -paced, behind-the scenes documentary that follows these 
       two companies for one year, comparing their divergent 
       business practices, interviewing workers, following a 
       union drive, and zeroing in on the hopes and dreams of the
       garment workers themselves. While Dov gets slapped with 
       sexual harassment allegations and openly resists 
       unionization, Sweat X struggles to survive in the tight 
       economic conditions that have sent so much of their 
       competition overseas.
