Synopsis CONSCIENCE OF CLOTHING is is a documentary film project that aims to raise awareness about sustainability and fair fashion.

Today’s fashion trends are tomorrow’s trash. Consumption is rapidly increasing. And yet: fashion is human. Individuality, creativity, personality, preferences, style—all of this contributes to who we are as a person. Yet it also makes us susceptible to manipulation. Is there a way out of the obsession with wasting resources? What role does each of us play as an individual and does it make sense to try to uphold something like individual responsibility along the supply chain? What roles do social media and influencers play? Can they be part of the solution rather than part of the problem?

THE CONSCIENCE OF CLOTHING is building strong bridges to western civilisation „Zeitgeist“ topics such as egoism, consumption in real life capitalism (fueled by fast fashion), intersectional feminism and sustainability in the modern world.

For years, human rights organizations have been pointing to the precarious working conditions that exist along textile industry supply chains. Here you’ll learn about the power relations and structural problems that exist within this industry, what the fashion industry means for people in producer countries, and things that every individual can do to improve these conditions.
