After watching the documentary on Nike, it was observed that there is a very sad situation with the workers who are contributing their hard work for the company. As these workers are earning only 25$ a day, it is indeed very difficult to be able to live a good life. These workers said that they need to work in any condition as the only thing that they have with them is due to the work that they are doing which is the main reason why Nike factories torture and humiliate the workers.
