Sporting giant adidas claims to embody the spirit of sports, but it is far from fair play on the factory floors of adidas’ Indonesia-based suppliers. In this short film 32 year old Hamdani shares the story of his struggle to find work after his unfair dismissal from an adidas supply factory in 2005. Hamdani asks adidas and adidas consumers to think about the human face of production and support the rights of unfairly dismissed workers.
Hamdani invites you to take action, support workers’ rights and ensure that adidas keeps its promises to unfairly dismissed workers.
