Still Standing - The Real Story of the NC Textile Industry - FULL DOCUMENTARY 

What a great film. It is so nice to see so many companies adapting and thriving!

This is a great documentary! Great information. This needs to get out to the nation that NC's textile industry is alive and can thrive again!

This is a very good documentary. There are so many misconceptions about the state of American industries that people peddle in the popular media. This film shows that they continue to adapt, innovate and even lead.

exceptional, informative and reassuring...i have new found confidence and hope for north Carolina textile industry

I'm still working as a loom fixer here in Cleveland County. There are actually several mills left here and in Gaston county. Old habits die hard.

So interesting. Am teaching a class on quilts, and will use this to bring the textile information from the 1800's/slave days into the modern 21st century business era. Thanks for this!

Excellent look at then and now. I spent most of my adult life in textiles and loved watching this.

what a wonderful video, thank you so much!

I'm originally from Paterson, NJ...one of the Early America textile producing areas, along with the New England boomtowns...By the mid 50's, Paterson was becoming a ghost town, with most its plants by that time moving down South to beat the unions where the already predominant cotton spinning factories already were...How much time did it buy them, though? By the mid 80's, a good number of the Southern plants were unionized, and the industry was looking to China and other offshore places...Gone!

Excellent example of the need for adjustments to change from the top level executives to the factory worker. Enjoyed your video, thank you!

BRAVO!! Very well done. Educational, informative, and inspirational. Thank you for making this wonderful documentary.

wow thanks for saving me tons of research and I trip abroad. I could not have found your movie at a better time. thanks again!

Interesting video of the North Carolina textile industry, and also highlights about the N.C. State University College of Textiles, 296 graduates in 2012.

Excellent material, well composed! I work at Nester Hosiery in Mount Airy,NC where we have developed a new line of socks completely manufactured, in the US; supply line and all! Visit us at www.farmtofeet.com
