In a revealing interview, Bulgarian director Stefan Komandarev discusses the brutal working conditions faced by seamstresses in Bulgaria, as depicted in his film 'Made in EU'. The film tells the story of Iva Doneva, a seamstress who works in a small textile factory and is unable to take sick leave even when unwell, relying on medication to keep working. The financial penalties for absence mean that she must push through illness, highlighting the lack of regard for worker wellbeing in the industry.
