Believe me, it will be worse. Covid ruined lots of manufacturers as customers pulled & cancelled big orders meaning the most vulnerable workers lost work/ possibly even factory owners went bust & the economic crisis that has followed has meant volume of orders has not yet resumed normal capacities (although sustainably this is better for the environment) infact the manufacturing side got hit the worst. We are struggling in western countries with our own BS but ultimately we (myself included) involved in this ‘outfit’ though down on our own wages, under target pressures & tough economical climate, we still are better off and should atleast have a apathy and a conscious.

"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...

Same here! I'm sad to see that this documentary doesn't have more views though. As a 6th grade science teacher, I do a unit on Climate Science each year in April/May. This documentary is too graphic to share with my students, but I can find other ways to bring awareness to the issues of fast fashion on the environment and lively hood of garment workers. I watch a lot of videos on climate change causes/effects/solutions, consumerism, minimalism, zero waste, upcycling, etc. and have already made efforts to be more eco-conscious as an American consumer and mainly purchase items from thrift stores, farmer's markets, FB market place, and other second hand apps. I hope this documentary reaches a wider audience and more people have a change of heart and more eco-conscious consumerist behavior.

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.

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.

That only applies to middle class and completely ignores lower class, who use Black Friday, Boxing Day, and discounts and sales to buy basic necessities as well as splurges as a treat to themselves (like electronics) bc why should poor people be deprived of fun things in life? Not to mention, western worlds punish far greatly kids who can't afford to keep up with trends, whether it's outdated clothes or lacking of x,y,z, than poorer countries. If anybody is over consuming as illustrated by multiple KZread videos of doing $200-500 hauls of fast fashion or even mall stores fashion is middle class who can afford to shop in surplus. The same class who keeps overpriced overrated brand names survive.

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...

This should have way more views. Excellent doco!

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.

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

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.

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

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

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!

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

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😢😢😢

It's gonna be hard to do when more and more stores convert to fast fashion quality with synthetic fabrics. The only reason thrifting is even viable right now is because there's still moderately quality clothes circulating the thrift stores. But way to put responsibility on the consumer (most of whom have no malicious intent towards the factory workers) and away from the corporations that created these systems, when they hold so much power and resources and can easily change. How big is the middle class anyways? Many of us could not afford anything else than the cheapest stores at the mall and now online. Many people don't have the income to vote with their pocket and force these companies to change. I think she addressed the right entity in her speech.
