New fixer: Bridges. Took me to a totally different mill that's connected with the Biratnagar Jute Mills. This one is called Raghupati jute mills and is located directly on the border of India and Nepal. Met a man who used to work there but is now going through difficult times..having a hard time sustaining himself. Tomorrow I'll wake up at around 4:00am and stay with him for a day...until he goes to sleep.
We tried to enter the mills today to see the working conditions. They asked for a bribe..2,000 rupees. We said no.
During this time I plan to document how he is living. Interview him about the jute mills and his opinions of the political situation in Nepal. This will tie into how the government's instability is indirectly hurting some of the people of nepal.
