Clothes swap, film screening
    2017-05-30  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

Are you ready to freshen up your summer wardrobe but don’t want to spend the Earth’s precious resources to do so? Join Shenzhen Green Drinks for a fabulous clothes swap. Entry is free.

Simply bring one item and swap for two or bring two items to swap for three or bring three items to swap for four, until there’s nothing left.

Please only bring clean clothes to swap. No swimwear, underwear, socks or shoes will be accepted.

“The True Cost,” a 2015 documentary film directed by Andrew Morgan that focuses on fast fashion, will be shown at the activity. Morgan traveled to 13 countries to collect information and conduct interviews.

It discusses several aspects of the garment industry from production — mainly exploring the life of low-wage workers in developing countries — to its aftereffects such as water and soil pollution, pesticide contamination, disease and death.

Using an approach that looks at environmental, social and psychological aspects, it also examines consumerism and mass media, ultimately linking them to global capitalism.

The documentary is a collage of several interviews with environmentalists, garment workers, factory owners and people organizing fair trade companies or promoting sustainable clothing production.

The film premiered at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival. Critics have been both positive and dismissive, with reviews ranging from “vitally important documentary” to “vague liberal agitprop.”

Time: 6:30-9:30 p.m., May 30
