The True Cost
Who pays the price for our clothing?
RSVP to our free screening
Join Arizona Environment, the Terry J. Lundgren Center for Retailing, FORGE, and The Loft Cinema for an evening exploring sustainable consumerism and the cost of fast fashion.
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. 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?
