The True Cost
Who made your clothes?
A film by Andrew Morgan
A must watch documentary that looks at fast fashion, western consumerism and it's impact socially and environmentally on the countries where the products are made.
The True Cost shows how global brands are pushing down prices by pressurising factories to compete with one another consequently enforcing poor working conditions and worker exploitation.
The environmental impact fast fashion is having in these areas is detrimental to our natural world. It is causing soil degradation, poisoned waters and chronic air pollution.
In order to make more sustainable purchasing choices we must first understand how our clothing is in made and the impact it is having.
