Schmatta - Rags To Riches To Rags

I remember seeing a preview of the Schmatta - Rags to riches to rags documentary on HBO.com and was waiting for it to air or for the DVD to be released. I figured that HBO would included it on the HBO GO app, but they didn't.


After looking for this documentary for some time now I discovered this link someone had posted on a forum. It downloads pretty quickly and is of good quality.


The documentary has interesting facts regarding the garment industry in New York. Since I'm from LA I'm more interested in our history, never the less it was informative.
