By choosing the radiohead song for the video, the filmmakers are trying to draw a comparison between the song lyrics and the children who work to make shoes. People don't think of what goes into making the products that they consume. The video is making the argument, there is more than just a material cost for people to get their products. Their is a human cost which is shown in the video. Should the children in the video have to live in such poor conditions? Why can't they have a better quality of life? People who live in poor countries are exploited because they need money to survive. Companies pay them almost nothing and the workers have to live with poor conditions because they need the money. If the workers demand more money the company just moves somewhere else where the people need the money more.
The video makes the argument that we should not allow people in any country to live in such poor conditions for the sake of getting a cheap product.

I totally agree with you on the last paragraph. I agree with top other paragraphs too but i agree more on the last one. People should be more thinking what they buy. and remember of this kind of videos that the media had put in Youtube or on TV.
