Post-screening discussion

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.

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.

More than that, it’s a look at the long-term health effects of pesticide use, the political effects of exploiting workers’ rights, and the economic effects of unchecked consumerism. 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?
