Cotton is one of the most diffused textiles for producing materials, especially those used for garments in contact with the skin. During production cotton is treated with poisons and pesticides, some of which are the same ones used in the production of chemical weapons. Banned in Europe, they are still largely popular in India, diffused and promoted by companies of the likes of Bayer so much so they represent the first cause of death for cotton growers. Many are the farmers committing suicide for ran up debts, still the majority die intoxicated by pesticide remnants which also stick to the clothes us European consumers wear every day and which penetrate into our system absorbed by the skin.

After her Political Science studies Inge Altemeier (born in 1956) became a freelance journalist which led her to focus on matters relating to southeast Asia, especially India; after having studied economy Reinhard Hornung (1957) travelled through Tibet and started to work as a cameraman and documentarist.
