and 8 years later, the fashion industry has gotten even faster and more exploitative

Given this documentary is actually dated from 2015, I would very much welcome a similar documentary comparing the situation to today in 2023, going into 2024.

“THERE IS NO BEAUTY IN THE FINEST CLOTH IF IT MAKES HUNGER AND UNHAPPINESS.” - MAHATMA GANDHI

"does it bother me? is that what you are asking me? well, no, there could be worse jobs they could be doing..."Wow, just because there could be worse things doesn't justify that you should exploit them just because you physically can and have the power to do so and it benefits you...

Well I've never been more disgusted with my shopping habits. Thrift shops & secondhand only for me from now on.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU for producing this documentary!! The western world needs to see these truths!!! Every human has value, no matter the country they are born in yet we definitely don’t treat every human with dignity. I cried throughout and dedicate my life to fighting for fair trade, wages and dignified partnerships across the globe!!!

Enlightening documentary, well done to the creators. Came here from Cara Nicole's channel.

1:20:21 is especially heartbreaking. This documentary has me in tears. Thrifting is the way to go for me now.

I wish everyone could watch this. More need to understand the dangers of this industry.

Heartbreaking, eye opening and mind blowing documentary. We can’t go on like this, the world has to change. Thank you so much for your documentary

Incredibly eye-opening documentary. I feel horribly for everyone mistreated here. We saw heartbreaking glimpses of a few lives. I can’t begin to imagine the horrors millions more live through. It’s unjust we as consumers aren’t shown how our products are sourced. Advertisers never show this side of consumption. Every people alive must see this show. We cannot continue with mindless consumerism. Share this with your friends and family. The more people that know, the less that will support the fast fashion industry.

“Using the money we don’t have to buy the things we don’t need to give to ppl we don’t like” something like that.

I'm watching this as research for my thesis about the negative affects of fast fashion and oh my gosh this is so so eye-opening

when I thought it couldn't get worse with the building collapsing and people getting beaten up for speaking up then there's the gmo and the farmers suicide...😭 this is hard to watch...

We Americans live in a very selfish, self-centered society . We need to rethink our moral and spiritual priorities.. get back to the basics like family, children , and spiritual growth.

i am really grateful for this documentary, because I did not realize the full impact an "innocent" shopping trip can have. This is calling me to change the way I shop.

This should have way more views. Excellent doco!

Repenting of buying fast fashion for most of my life. I hope I never do it again. This is all heartbreaking

This is so eye-opening. Seems impossible that these types of horrible things could be happening in the 21st century, and yet we ourselves are helping to perpetuate the cycle. I don't think I'll ever shop again without thinking of this. It'll make me think twice before every purchase. That clip of Stephen Colbert is making all these serious statements and mocking the popular culture while the audience laughs and chants U-S-A is chilling.

Really an eye-opening docu, more of America as well as other countries in the world NEED to see this

It’s like The Shirtwaist Factory Fire of 1911, here in NY. Greed in the clothing industry has a long history. Lots of information here…so much we never knew. Heartbreaking!

we dont NEED any more STUFF!!!!!! STOP THIS GROWTH

This has been so helpful, thank you to all those who contributed in its making as I have now decided to make changes to how I shop and what i purchase and reduce my consumption where i would often not even think about how many sweaters or dresses i have in a variety of colours. This doco has been an big eye opener with consumerism & capitalism at the core and, how we are targeted and manipulated thru marketing & promo continuity without a single thought to the Blood & Suffering that may have gone into the garment I've bought. Thanks again for a Fab doco 👍🏼🙏🏼

These free marketeers are ghouls. The idea that other people should suffer for profit is disgusting.

We acually do live in a distopia

Mind blowing and insightful documentary and I am so grateful that you shared this as I have been slowly working on becoming a conscious buyer and i have shared this movie with my friends and loved ones thank you for the work you are doing changing one person at a time, i am touched

So sad. The same with electronics and appliances. The replacement parts cost almost as much as a new appliance. Greed and the media- this is the main cause. I never heard of any companies helping after the Bengalash (spelling) accident. Just keep pumping out these documentaries.

So impactful!! They should be showing this in schools!

Well that was utterly depressing

The WORLD needs to see the truth, and the shift needs to begin ASAP. Consumers need to become activists. we can change this world together. Hope this movie goes SUPER VIRAL! I can never look at fashion the same again without question. We need disclosures and regulations in the US, we need to support ethical practices and a company's supply chain is a part of their business and should be disclosed to the public or considered fraud because they are directly harming (no, destroying !) the world and people! whether the business is public or private we should have regulations. I hope people stop buying from companies that do not disclose where and how their products are made- like ingredients on a food box we need disclosures, so we won't shop blindly. just like GMO food products have GMO labels we should know if the cotton has chemicals, the factories who make it, etc. Like the FDA approves certain products in the US, clothes should go through a regulatory body that analyzes the true cost of these clothes, ALL of the inputs, and NOT ONLY the outputs. Unethical practices are not right and consumption of fashion in all brands should be looked into by the consumer, the brands are literally giving us no choice and are destroying the planet(land, water people!). Like I said if not disclosed like ingredients on the food box we should not buy. Then change would happen when fashion owners see a decline in first hand buying and would be forced to make changes. Free Trade need to be fixed its the 21st century and the earth is literally going to shit because there are no regulations for the greed. I pray for a positive change. This documentary was heartbreaking but so impactful. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for uploading this

We can do better. Our lives are not more important than those of others.

this is heartbreaking. 😢 we need to change, we need to do something

Thank you so much for sharing this documentary! I've learned a lot.

very informative i was really touched with the documentary omg ty

Found this through Malamalife channel. Thank you so much! Amazing!

thank you so much for making such meaningful thing:)

more people should be seeing this

the most eye opening documentary there is. ive been showing it to everyone around me ever since it came out. I wish we could popularize it even more. IT NEEDS TO BE SCREENED IN CINEMAS!!!

how heartbreaking this is. i hope era of free information and reputation collapse will make a change for all of us.

Very good documentary. I need to think more whenever I buy a new garment piece now. Very encouraging and powerful message. I literally feel bad for many people who are working for 2$ a day

what a valuable documentary..... Thanks for uploading the video.

An amazing showcase and idea to re-think the needs of less provided.

Great documentary

10 $ a month... wow. This is outrageous.

this is why all of my clothes comes from second hand stores.

I have to watch this for a school project.

Great docu #FairTrade

Nice documentary movie ❤ keep doing

EXCELLENT VIDEO! I HAD SEEN THIS BEFORE.

Amazing. Just a fascinating documentary.

I feel incredibly guilty for being part of this awful problem for this long :( I have two daughters who I very much have also (ignorantly) made part of this problem .. How do I go about changing everything they’ve ever known when it comes to this buy, buy buy culture (like their peers) when they are already tween and early college yrs.?? 😥😥

11:09 workers had already pointed out cracks in building but were forced to continue working

14:35 this makes me so upset

How ironic, I am watching this documentary right now and Stella McCartney just did a campaign with Kendall Jenner recently ..... very thoughtful of Planet of you congrats

Everyone is responsible for the mishaps. We still continue to buy from the brands involved in the disaster. It’s not people don’t care for others.

why are there 100 ads

This is what many people should see, better than watching how's influencer life, and drive your ego, greedy which never feel enough and always need social acceptance.

Thrift clothing is not only a better value ,but is better quality. There is a lot of dead stock (new old clothing that was never worn) and many gently used items. New clothing is often made from poor quality materials and is poorly assembled.

Next time reupload with the original songs on the credits and a link to listen in full. All from independent artists.

What hurts me the most is 2 things: 1. The incidents in Bangladesh are horrific and it is very sad to see people lose their lives trying their best to earn for their families even if it's a tiny amount and then when they make any demands they get shushed up and told to keep quiet and they use violence on them making them powerless😤😤😤 2. The use of pesticides and chemicals taking a toll on children who are losing most of their childhood and suffering to impairments and mental retardation at such a young age and parents being unable to save them and feeling powerless and their last resort is waiting for the child's death. Where has this world come to😢😢😢

Anyone else here from Cara Nicole?

Please recommend good books on this topic!

Oh GOSH, heartbreaking, the sistem has to be changed immediately and we must be consious,because the cist if clothing is very huge with blood😢

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

How does one contribute to change...I adore gorgeous garments bt had no idea they come at a cost of poor souls and some lost in the way💔

How do global corporations change the consumption behavior of people

If anybody finds good fastfashion documents like these, no matter from where plss tell me cus i've been searching for these!!

Showing this in schools

Wow😢

Someone send me a summary of this video

Does it bother me ????? 👀

Someone explain 10:54 to me. I can’t grasp it.😢

41:50

Fast fashioner and luxury fashion different segmentation

i would like to talk to the people who made these people die because of the work conditions. they wouldn't like to meet me on a dark night. 😡😡😡😡

25:17 cotton plant re-engineered 27:29

This is tiring. Instead of "I call to international brand" I say "I call to my fellow consumers to held these international brand responsible by limiting our own consumption and boycotting these brands when they don't have a humane supply chain"

35:40 consumption mindset

what up dr. m's class

Anyone with a sumary?

82pounds of clothing per year for an average American? I can't think how thIs is possible... are the clothes unusable does it not fit anymore? For me, honestly i haven't even changed clothes in the last 3 years... i can see same clothes in some of my photos with co workers and i am not bothered with it... 😅

What if you couldn't afford expensive clothing?

My video is litteraly sponsored by uniqlo

This is so heart touching! This really opened my eyes❤️🩷I will pray for them!

the fair trade boss is such a narcistic, it's all a botu her and she presents it as if she is so nice to those people.Unbearable.

1:14:00 capitalism

its a shame nothing will change until it's too late. every dirt bag influencer must have their own crappy merch. stop buying this junk. get blank T's and use them till they fall apart. i have a 20 year emergency fund and still rarely ever buy anything
