Who Is Paying for Our Bargain Fashions?
Come, watch, and discuss the documentary
The True Cost. This film explores t
he impact of fashion on people and the planet.
Did you know that in the 1960s, the American fashion industry produced 95% of the clothes its people wore?
Now it produces only 3%.
From director Andrew Morgan's humane investigations, a portrait of exploitation emerges in The True Cost that just might make some of us more repelled than elated over that bargain dress or jeans.
After the film, add your voice and ideas to the discussion let by representatives from Fair Trade Philadelphia.
- Can the apparel industry make ethical clothing?
- Are there solutions and new models for the industry?
- Is Fair Trade the answer?
- Will the Fair Trade Buying Club be useful?
