Documentary screenings: 'The True Cost' and 'Plastic China'
Sponsored by GSA Community Fund, we are delighted to present two groundbreaking award-winning documentaries in V/N/045 Lecture Theatre, Heslington West, University of York.
First screening event: The True Cost
Tuesday 25th April, 2017 at 18:30 in V/N/045
This event will begin with an opening talk about fashion and identity by Prof. Vicki Robinson, who specialises in feminist sociology. This will be followed by the screening of ‘The True Cost’ - a groundbreaking documentary that asks us to consider “who really pays the price for our clothing?”. There will be a follow-up reflective discussion.

Second screening event: Plastic China
Tuesday 2nd May, 2017 at 18:30 in V/N/045
Director Jiu-liang Wang’s follow-up to debut documentary Beijing Beseiged By Waste (2011), Plastic China captures a plaintive sense of the human casualties from unfettered global consumerism. His gently observed portrait of the families toiling at a plastic recycling factory in Shandong builds into a damning commentary on a modern China marked by extreme divides in wealth and opportunity. Wide festival exposure seems assured, particularly at events with a focus on environmental issues, and specialist distribution is a strong possibility.
