Synopsis

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. The price of clothing has been decreasing for decades, while the human and environmental costs have grown dramatically. It’s time to pull back the curtain on the untold story and consider, who really pays the price for our clothing?
