SIMA IMPACT CINEMA 2016 WINNERS SERIES: THE TRUE COST

The price of clothing has been decreasing for decades, while the human and environmental costs have grown dramatically. A story about the clothes we wear, the people who make them, and the impact the fashion industry is having on the world, The True Cost is a groundbreaking documentary that asks us to consider who really pays the price for our clothing. Spotlighting stories from the brightest runways to the darkest slums, and featuring interviews with the industry’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 into the lives of the people and places behind our clothes. Winner of the SIMA 2016 Jury Prize for Lens to Action. Directed by Andrew Morgan. (USA, 2014, 92 min. Rated PG-13.)
