T-Shirt Travels is a documentary video that features filmmaker Shantha Bloemen who stationed in a remote village in Zambia as a worker with an international aid organization.

Bloemen first travels to the Jersey shore, where she interviews Americans who donate their goods to various charities but have little idea that their former wardrobes end up in Africa. She talks to export agent Barney Lehrer from Brooklyn, who tells her that the Salvation Army doesn’t even unpack most of the donated clothing but sells it to companies for export to third-world countries.
