Incredibly impactful! The film so clearly shows the immense human and environmental costs of our cheap and disposable fashion and outlines how our rapacious consumption (as well as the growth based economic system which stimulates it) need to be radically changed.

Watching this documentary is eye-opening to the point that anyone watching should not be able to, with good conscience, buy clothing from most of today's top clothing retailers. The truth hit me hard in this documentary unlike anything I've ever watched before. It gives a face and a story to the people that are being sacrificed daily so that we can buy more clothes that we don't need. Watch this film. Learn what the cost of making your clothes is. Stop consuming at the cost of millions of people.

This movie really opened my eyes to the horrible conditions that garment workers are exposed to. It's truly sad.
