Experiencing Interruptions?

BEHIND THE SEAMS

"Behind the Seams" is a fictional documentary set in a near-future dystopia where humanity's obsession with fast fashion has spiraled out of control. The film follows Li Mingze, a 54-year-old former textile worker from Guilin, China, who narrates the devastating environmental and social consequences of the mass production and overconsumption of clothing. Through powerful visuals of garment-filled wastelands and eerily deserted factories, the documentary explores themes of unsustainable practices, corporate greed, and the irreversible damage caused by unchecked consumerism. The film serves as a poignant warning about the future we are creating and a call to action for more responsible fashion consumption.
