SUMMARY:The True Cost Screening- Raleigh
DESCRIPTION:Toward Zero Waste is hosting a screening and a discussion of the film True Cost. If you would like to help fast fashion fall out of favor join us on October 15th for a clothing swap at the West Raleigh Presbyterian Church! You can bring gently used clothes to drop off to The True Cost screening or drop off from 10-11:30 on October 15th. Shopping and swapping will start at noon and go will 2pm. Learn more about the clothing swap HERE. \nAbout the movie: The True Cost \nThis 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. The True Cost is a groundbreaking documentary film that pulls back the curtain on the untold story and asks us to consider\, who really pays the price for our clothing? \nFilmed in countries all over the world\, from the brightest runways to the darkest slums\, and featuring interviews with the world’s leading influencers including Stella McCartney\, Livia Firth and Vandana Shiva\, The True Cost is an unprecedented project that invites us on an eye opening journey around the world and into the lives of the many people and places behind our clothes.
