A spate of suicides at one of its main suppliers, Foxconn, has led to allegations of labour rights abuses in its Chinese factories. This film follows Debby Chan as she works to gather evidence against Foxconn and Apple, often at great risk to herself.

Activate tells the stories of activists around the world as they challenge authority, take direct action and stand up for what they believe in.]]>
