The True Cost talks about the influence of the fashion industry in our everyday lives. The documentary features personal stories from sweatshop workers and showcases the real consequences that come from shopping at stores like H&M and Gap. The True Cost is a moving, thought-provoking film that will make you rethink your style. It will leave you inspired to make more sustainable choices next time you go shopping.
Earthlings is a powerful film using hidden cameras from everyday industries that use animals for food, fashion, entertainment, and medicine. I think it is important for everyone to watch Earthlings because not enough of us are aware of the truth behind animal-based industries. As the saying goes, “Ignorance is bliss,” but why should you choose to live in ignorance when the truth is out there?
This documentary follows the Minimalists, Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus, as they tour the U.S. to promote their book, Everything That Remains. It’s a film about living with only the things needed to survive and focusing more on people and everyday interactions.
Plastic Paradise: The Great Pacific Garbage Patch follows journalist/filmmaker, Angela Sun, as she travels to Midway Atoll. “Every single piece of plastic that has ever been created since the 19th century is still somewhere on our planet. So if it never goes away, where does it go?”
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is located between the West Coast of North America and Japan and holds endless amounts of garbage debris. It’s a real problem that more people need to know about.
Want to know the secret to happiness? Just watch this film! Happy follows the lives of various individuals and communities from around the world.
