At this moment there exist enough clothes in the world to dress the next six generations. The disastrous consequences of the fashion and textile industry are clear: gigantic overproduction, polluted rivers, meters-high mountains of clothing waste and CO2 emissions that are greater than aviation and shipping combined. Yet the fashion industry is running at full speed and the race to the bottom continues unabated.

VPRO Tegenlicht follows four pioneers on their mission to improve the unruly clothing industry. They work on more sustainable textiles, transparent chains, more social policy at major brands and fairer advertising.
