The Conscience Of Clothing is a hybrid mix of cineastic documentary and editorial content elements by independent filmmaker Patrick Kohl. What does „making fashion“ mean to the people producing our clothes and accessories?
German fashion-blogger Willy Iffland and journalist Helen Fares tak a deep dive into the heart of Cambodia’s garment industry. Inspired by welcoming encounters with locals, THE CONSCIENCE OF CLOTHING (2020, 100 min) is an authentic snapshot of an industry that accounts for the livelihood and everyday reality of roughly a fifth of the country’s population. The topics are working conditions, fair wages, education, road safety and general life in Cambodia – but the filmmaker also tackles consumerism (fueled by fast fashion), intersectional feminism and sustainability in the modern world. Produced by German Rosa-Luxemburg-Foundation.
