The True Cost Movie Screening and Discussion, with Slow Fiber
2023-04-21 16:00 - 18:00 | The Pearl Works, 288 Pearl Street, Monterey, CA, United States
Join us for a movie showing of this timely documentary about the fashion industry. True Cost is a documentary, directed by Andrew Morgan about the clothes we wear, the people who make them, and the impact the industry is having on our world.
We all know parts of the story of the textile industry, however, the common dialogue around the fashion industry omits key components. This is an opportunity to learn more and talk about it. We will be screening the moving and then having a group discussion to share and gather the collective knowledge and experience in the room.
We are so excited to be putting on this event with slowfiber – the only local sustainable maker mender supply store, right here in downtown Monterey. Check them out here.
This is an in-person event at The Pearl Works at 288 Pearl Street in Monterey.
The Pearl Works is a vaccinated workspace. Please verify your vaccination before arrival or bring your proof of vaccination.

A portion of the proceeds will go to Fashion Revolution.
