I didn’t see the show and I don’t know about the nuns, but just a few years ago I remember having a discussion here on Arachne about hand-made lace still being commercially made. There was some report - either on TV or in print, I’m not sure - that mentioned two places: India, and China. I remember that the girls in India would get about $1 per day for making lace. I think the Chinese girls got less; I may have this wrong.
