Documentary Screening: Goodwill Dumping

The Impact of the Secondhand Clothing Industry

Join Sustainable Selkirk over the lunch hour for a screening of the short documentary Goodwill Dumping.

The stylized fashion documentary Goodwill Dumping brings the enormity of the industry surrounding donated secondhand clothing to light. The film showcases the journey that discarded pieces of clothing make and what kind of impact this has on local industries. Due to its globalized scale, this immense industry has something otherworldly. The film shows the process and butterfly effect caused by the simple action of donating your old T-shirt.

Creatures consisting out of mountains of discarded clothes add a layer of stylized and surrealistic commentary on the industry.

Watch the trailer.
