The True Cost Trailer Shows the Human Toll of Fast Fashion
EntertainmentIn the clip, images of women working in factories are juxtaposed with shots of lavishly dressed street style stars, being snapped at fashion week in the clothing that was presumably at some point produced by their more impoverished counterparts. The film, made by Andrew Morgan, came about when he discovered the working conditions via the New York Times; as he describes in this video, “There are hands, physical human hands that touch the things that we wear, and those hands are lives, and they matter… when we buy something, it is a moral act, and there are a chain reaction of consequences, so let’s begin to be more mindful and choose things that support life, not take it away.”
The True Cost is out in theaters, VOD, DVD and Blu-Ray on Friday, May 29.
