THE TRUE COST

Special Youth Screening
(Dir. Andrew Morgan, USA, 92 min.)
This is a story about clothing. It’s about the clothes we wear, the people who make
them, and the impact the industry is having on our world. The price of clothing
has been decreasing for decades, while the human and environmental costs have
grown dramatically. THE TRUE COST is a groundbreaking documentary film
that pulls back the curtain on the untold story and asks us to consider, who really
pays the price for our clothing?
Filmed in countries all over the world, from the brightest runways to the darkest
slums, and featuring interviews with the world’s leading influencers including
Stella McCartney, Livia Firth and Vandana Shiva, THE TRUE COST is an
unprecedented project that invites us on an eye opening journey around the
world and into the lives of the many people and places behind our clothes.
