The annual awards show united the power of fashion and entertainment for positive transformation and champions interconnected cultural change and the most inspiring efforts that drive it. The selection of the yearly honorees is evaluated according to six cultural archetypes – The Visionary, The Messenger, The Rebel, The Healer, The Sage, and The Futurist. Embodying these roles in the sustainable landscape, the Gcfa recognizes those who offer a new lens on true intersectional transformation while bringing together the next generation of global leaders driving political, social, and environmental solutions for a brighter collective future.

Democratic Party “Apathy” Is Major Concern in 2024 Elections, Warns ‘Texas, USA’ Director Andrew Morgan
Image
Five years ago, with Beto O’Rourke mounting an electrifying campaign to unseat Ted Cruz from the U.S. Senate, Democrats seemed hopeful that the political winds were shifting in Texas to one day make it a purple state. He ultimately lost by 2.6 percent amid a record turnout for a mid-term election.

Since then, Democratic hopes for turning Texas into a swing state have diminished. In the 2020 presidential election, Donald Trump made gains with Hispanic voters. And the state legislature has become increasingly conservative with a host of bills signed this year by Republican Governor Greg Abbott that include barring public universities from creating Dei offices, banning transgender athletes from college sports, and restricting labor rights. In 2022, abortion was banned in the state following the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

Sustainability in fashion by Anne-Katrin Titze

Fashion Reimagined director Becky Hutner on Pedro Otegui with Amy Powney: “We met Pedro, whom we call the grandfather of Uruguayan wool, the David Attenborough of Uruguay.”

Another highlight of the 21st edition of the Tribeca Film Festival is Becky Hutner’s documentary on Mother of Pearl fashion designer Amy Powney’s journey with brand manager Chloe Marks in search of building a sustainable collection. Along the way Becky introduces Amy to her idol Katharine Hamnett, one of the first fashion designers to raise awareness about the responsibility of those involved with clothing, which means: all of us. Andrew Morgan’s documentary The True Cost, featuring Livia Firth was an early alert on the devastating impact fast fashion is having on the environment.

Becky Hutner with Anne-Katrin Titze (in Batsheva) on connecting Katharine Hamnett with Amy Powney: “It was wonderful to get the two minds together.”

When I brought up Livia Firth's (aka Livia Giuggioli) Eco-Age Green Carpet Challenge last month to Fresh Dressed director Sacha Jenkins, this was his response: "I mean, when you talk inner city, green is the furthest thing. Because you are dealing with people who live in food deserts." Whereas Laurie David exposes the fast food industry in Fed Up, Andrew Morgan's global investigations into fast fashion in The True Cost have all the makings of a mini-series.

Livia Firth is a committed activist who is looking towards the future. She is the founder of The Green Carpet Challenge, Creative Director of Eco-Age, and Oxfam Global Ambassador along with Bill Nighy, Helen Mirren, Annie Lennox, Desmond Tutu, Gael Garcia Bernal, Helena Christensen, and Colin Firth. At the Georgina Chapman, Harvey Weinstein, William Ivey Long, Cindy Sherman and Stella McCartney invitation screening of Andrew Morgan's The True Cost, organised by Peggy Siegal, Livia and I spoke about her role as The True Cost executive producer (credited as Livia Giuggioli), exposing myths, and what it means to connect the issues to work towards reversing brainwashing.

Do you Know “The True Cost” of Fashion?
The ‘Human Rights Watch Film Festival’ (films which bring human rights abuses to the forefront, whose goal is for deep rooted legal and social change in order to fight these injustices, and whose message is that personal accountability can and will make a difference), begins a little early. Although the Hrw Film Festival doesn’t begin until June 11-21, 2015, and “The True Cost” by Andrew Morgan isn’t actually one of the films showing at Hrw, it very well could have been.

In recent years, the media and docs have discussed where are food comes from, how it is processed, climate change and it’s impact on the environment, and our drinking water as a commodity. We are cognizant that fossil fuels produce carbon dioxide (one of the greenhouse gases that contributes to global warming and impacts the environment as a result), that organic produce and dairy can impact our eco-system and overall health, and that recycling plastic or using reusable water bottles can help prevent non-biodegradable waste.

But we rarely, if ever, give thought to the clothes we wear.

The Fashion Industry is the # 2 polluting industry in the world, second to the oil industry!

Who makes your clothes?

Are they still being made in China, or now that China has implemented industrial standards, have the factories been moved to surrounding countries like Bangladesh? 4 million of the 40 million who work in the garment industry, work in Bangladesh. 85% are women.

How much are they getting paid?

What work conditions are the employees subjected to?

Most will recall Rana Plaza, in 2013, which was the deadliest disaster in the history of the garment industry worldwide.

What impact do the chemicals and dyes have on the local rivers and health of those who come in contact with them?

Did you know that just like organic foods, organic cotton comes from non-genetically modified plants that are grown without the use of any fertilizers or pesticides?

Did you know it takes 700 gallons of water to make 1 tee shirt?

What social and ecological impact can the consumer have in implementing changes?

Eco fashion is beginning to and will continue to become more mainstream, but will the clothes be affordable?

Eco-Fashion or Sustainable Fashion: is a part of the growing design philosophy and trend of sustainability, the goal of which is to create

a system which can be supported indefinitely in terms of environmentalism and social responsibility.

Repurpose: To reuse for a different purpose, on a long-term basis, without alteration. For example, using curtains and creating a dress.

Eco-Organic: pesticide free clothing.

UpCycling: the process of converting waste materials or useless products into new materials or products of better quality or for

better environmental value.

"The True Cost" is now playing at IFC in NYC and Laemmle Music Hall in La.

Armchair Vacation: Five Films To Watch At Home This Weekend [May 29-31]
Every day, more and more films are added to the various streaming services out there, ranging from Netflix to YouTube, and are hitting the airwaves via movie-centric networks like TCM. Therefore, sifting through all of these pictures can be a tedious and often times confounding or difficult ordeal. But, that’s why we’re here. Every week, Joshua brings you five films to put at the top of your queue, add to your playlist, or grab off of VOD to make your weekend a little more eventful. Here is this week’s top five, in this week’s Armchair Vacation.

5. Forbidden Empire (VOD)

While fantasy narratives, period costuming and CGI effects are often left for either the studio Oscar bait season or the occasional Hollywood blockbuster, lower and lower budget indie releases are getting access to higher and higher quality below-the-line craft work. Take Oleg Stepchenko’s Forbidden Empire for example.

The True Cost (2015)
The True Cost Fumbles Its Attack on the Clothing Industry
The True Cost (2015)
Here are the ingredients of most of today's lefty issues docs: doom, doom, Koch brothers, Monsanto, doom, doom, CNN clips, doom, doom, upbeat guitars and the promise that everything can change if we just get involved. Andrew Morgan's The True Cost leaves the Koches out of its rundown of the damage that clothing manufacturers have done to our world and its people, but it otherwise offers exactly what you think it will. It's got some surprises, too: It's scattershot and repetitive, naive and disingenuous, as capable of engaging you with a thoughtful argument as a newborn puppy is of opening its eyes.

Even if, like me, you agree with the points that it's fumbling toward, The True Cost will likely read as dopey and insulting: Early on, a Bangladeshi garme...

The True Cost (2015)
This trailer is devastating
The True Cost (2015)
How's your day going? Good? Well, I'm here to ruin your life. Hat tip to Jezebel for bringing my attention to this trailer for a forthcoming documentary entitled "The True Cost," which "pulls back the curtain on the untold story and asks us to consider, who really pays the price for our clothing?" As the trailer points out, it's (mainly) women in third-world countries who get paid pennies a day in horrific conditions to churn out your crappy H&M tennis shorts. Statistics show that a large majority of our clothing is produced in overseas "sweatshops" -- i.e. factories that violate labor laws and often employ children (these exist in the U.S. too, by the way). Andrew Morgan's film promises to shine a devastating light on this cruel underbelly of the $1 trillion global fashion industry and our addiction to "fast," low-cost clothing (H&M, TopShop, et. al...
