Their films have been exhibited at film festivals, including Abu Dhabi, Cambridge, Bite The Mango, Cape Town, Durban, East End, Leeds International, and AlJazeera International Documentary. The Rainbow Collective's 30-minute documentary filmTears in the Fabric focused on one family in the aftermath of the 2013 Savar building collapse. It premiered at Regent's University London in 2014. In partnership with TRAID, "they have made a series of citizen journalist films with Cambodian garment workers" that Lucy Siegle, writing in The Guardian in 2017, considered "well worth a watch". In August 2017, they became members of DIGNItex, a platform for defending decent jobs in the garment industry. Filmography
