The true cost explores the impacts of fashion on the pe
ople living in the society and the planet. The main plot of the story is about clothing and how it has changed over years, the impact that it has created among the people who wear them, people who make them and its impact on the world. The film highlights enormous issues relating to the fast style fashion industry and discusses all facets of the supply chain, which involves cotton growing, products output, working conditions, over consumption and the enormous contribution of the industry towards pollution (the fashion industry is considered to be the world's second highest pollution industry).It shows that how the big companies are exploiting the human population in the developing countries. The most important conclusion that it makes us draw is that “The price of clothing has been decreasing for decades, while the human and environmental costs have grown dramatically.” The documentary features the garment factories in Cambodia, Bangladesh and India's cotton fields, where ecological and health hazards are connected with the use of fierce pesticides. Garment employees who survive on less than 3 dollars a day recall employer beatings and demands for better pay Also revealing the grim reality and insensitiveness of a factory owner in Bangladesh. The 2013 collapse of the Rana Plaza building caused more than 1,000 deaths but the owner tells us candidly that when retailers squeeze him, he must squeeze his employees. Over 250 employees have been killed in Ali enterprises crash, and Tazreen Fashions that took the lives of at least 117 men. It focuses on those employees who cannot afford their kids to be fed, sent to school, or provided healthy living conditions, so that many parents ultimately leave their kids with their grandparents.
