THE TRUE COST is a documentary film exploring the impact of the global fashion industry on people and the planet. Today, we are outsourcing more, consuming more (in the US a 400% clothing consumption increase in the last two decades alone), using more resources, and paying less than we have at any previous time in history. At the same time, there are record high numbers of worker casualties in factories, and a fundamentally unsustainable growing toll on the environment. The purpose of this film is to effectively communicate this reality to industry and consumers in developed countries to create real and lasting change.
