The Sustainability Film Series and facilitated discussion will begin its 11th year with the showing of "True Cost," a film 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. This 2015 documentary film investigates who really pays the price for our clothing? The discussion facilitator will be Soonkwan Hong (CoB), associate professor of marketing.
“This seemed like an appropriate film for January, after the consumption spree of the holidays!” explained Joan Chadde, film series coordinator, and director of the Michigan Tech Center for Science & Environmental Outreach.
