SYNOPSIS:
SWEAT is the athlete’s version of Erin Brokovich, The Insider and Serpico. A soccer coach said no to taking part in a $3.5 million dollar deal to endorse Nike products because of Nike’s use of sweatshop labor. In 2000, he and a friend took off to live with factory workers in a slum in Indonesia. They lived on the workers’ wages, $1.25 a day.
