‘The Truth Of Low-Cost Fashion’: 5 Takeaways

The fashion industry is at a crossroads, grappling with the consequences of fast fashion. With nearly 56 million tonnes of clothing sold annually, the environmental and social costs are staggering. “The Truth Of Low-Cost Fashion” documentary by Gilles Bovon and Edouard Perrin reveals the dark side of the fast fashion industry, which causes severe environmental damage and exploits low-income workers. Released in 2021, the film unfolds the story of exploited workers, particularly in countries like Bangladesh, earning insufficient wages like around $94 a month and enduring harsh conditions.
