Description:
True Cost, is the first of five monthly films in the 2021 Sustainable Film Series. True Cost is a documentary 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 Dr. Soonkwan Hong, Associate Professor of Marketing, MTU College of Business.
�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. �Dr. Hong is the perfect discussion facilitator for this film, given his interests in marketing ethics, sustainable lifestyles, and consumer behavior.�
