Slay

Slay is a very informative documentary about the fashion industry's darkest kept secret: the impacts that our clothing has on the earth and its inhabitants.

Most documentaries are primarily focused on the content, but this documentary is also very well shot and thought-out. Often documentaries can come off as agenda-pushing, but this documentary was very balanced and presented the viewer with all of the right information to make informed decisions in our own lives.

I'll certainly be reevaluating my clothing choices having learned a lot more about the impact of my clothing purchases on the world.

To paraphrase a quote from the film: we all wear clothing, so we should all care about fashion and where it comes from.

Slay is a great documentary film that not only features people talking to the camera but also covers a lot of ground work for fur, leather and wool in several countries like India, China, Australia and Europe.

One thing I really appreciate as I am quite sensitive, is that despite the topic being about animals (and planet and human rights) there is nothing graphic on the screen. I used to think leather and wool were fine and okay for the planet, and I was shocked by the facts, the data and the images that came from these industries. I am really recommending it to anyone interested in fashion, sustainability or simply making better choices.

A worthwhile watch for anyone wanting to understand these industries, the truth behind what we wear and how we live. Emotional, empathetic and visually a very well done film by a passionate team. Especially poignant following the journey of filmmaker Rebecca from fashion lover to animal rights activism. This film has been thought about thoroughly - it was factual whilst also telling a story, one of which without a happy ending but leaves you feeling like we can and must do more to protect the animals, our planet, and humans involved in the production of materials. The world is changing and it's amazing to see people so passionate to pushing the change. Very well done.

The film shows the great disconnect between the shiny glamorous world of fashion and the cruel and destructive practices of this industry. It unveils how animals, workers and the environment is treated through the whole "value" chain. It is rather a "chain of cruelties".

This documentary analyzes how most of the big brands are trying to make us believe the fairy tale that what we buy is sustainable and was produced under fair conditions. Every day we consume food or fashion we make choices. After having seen this movie you will may be rethink your daily choices and leave out all animal products.

The film takes you on a trip through five continents behind the scenes of fur, leather and wool producers. You meet activists with breathtaking messages, infographics explain complex topics graphically and the soundtrack is amazing. For me, SLAY is the most emotional documentary film - it get's under your skin.

Great demonstration of what is happening. Entertaining, in the format, and chilling in the content.

It's great to have access and see what is happening "behind the scene". It walks you through different businesses and different continents looking for the source of what we wear everyday, what we have on our skin.

And it does a very good job in getting under our skin.

Hopefully more brands and citizens will see this documentary to be better informed, and take better decisions for their future (and ours).

I sent the link to watch it to several of my friends to spread the knowledge. After learning more about what we put in our plates, it is high time we know more about what we put on ourselves.
