Threadbare

2026

Synopsis

From the cotton fields of Uzbekistan to the garment factories of Bangladesh to the charity shops of London — tracing a single t-shirt across the globe to expose the human cost of fast fashion and the women bearing its weight.

Director's Statement

I carried a t-shirt for two years and across nine countries, asking everyone who touched it one question: what did this cost you? The answers broke me. This film is my attempt to stitch those answers back together.
