In the documentary film: The True Cost - which will be screened worldwide on May 29th - director
Andrew Morgan examines the impact the fashion industry has on the world, and exposes “the true human and ecological cost of fashion –
factors like human suffering and environmental damage that are not reflected in
a garment’s price tag.”
“More then
just underscoring the problem, this is an effort to highlight real solutions
that every day people can take part in. Our goal is to impact consumer behavior
that in turn impacts corporate and government policy decisions. The road we are
on simply is not sustainable, but there is an opportunity here; a defining
moment in history for us to set a new precedent for the future we will create,” according to the director.
The film debates about who really pays for the price of our clothing,
as Morgan is joined by industry leaders on sustainable and fair-trade, including the likes of Wayne Hemingway and Lily Cole, Livia Firth, Lucy
Siegle and Safia Minney. To view a trailer of
