“The True Cost” Documentary Screening  - Who Really Pays the Price of our Clothing?

7pm, Thursday 24th May, The Bookworm, Sanlitun.

The Beijing Clothing Auction Network, Live With Less and The Bulk House are teaming up to host a screening of The True Cost, a documentary film 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? Filmed in countries all over the world, from the brightest runways to the darkest slums, and featuring interviews with the worlds 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.

Join us on 24 May at 7pm to learn about how you can use your power as a consumer to vote for ethical and sustainable clothing. Arrive at 7pm, documentary screening at 7:30pm followed by a short discussion.

Tickets: presales - 40rmb including a drink; door price - 60rmb.
