The True Cost is a documentary about clothing -   the clothes we wear, the people who make them, and the impact the industry is having on the world that we share. The price of clothing has been decreasing for decades, while the human and environmental costs have grown exponentially. The True Cost is a groundbreaking documentary film that addresses an issue that may arguably be one of the most urgent problems of the 21st century.

Social enterprises are revenue-generating businesses with a twist. Whether operated by a non-profit organization or by a for-profit company, a social enterprise has two goals: to achieve social, cultural, community economic or environmental outcomes and to earn revenue. On the surface, many social enterprises look, feel, and operate like traditional businesses. But when you look more deeply, you can see that their mission is at the center of everything they do.
