Film
Please watch either the documentary The True Cost or “The Ugly Truth Of Fast Fashion” (from Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj) according to these guidelines:
1) If you have not seen The True Cost, please watch it. It is available for viewing on GauchoSpace (GauchoCast). If you are not enrolled in the class, it can be rented for a relatively modest fee from YouTube, Amazon, Google, etc.
2) If you have already seen The True Cost, please instead watch The Ugly Truth Of Fast Fashion on YouTube.
3) Since we will be considering them each in class, feel free to watch both films.
After watching one of the above films, please watch and then comment on the below short lecture by Intro, The True Cost.
Note that, while you can watch this video on this page, you need to go to YouTube to comment in the YouTube comment section.
Also note that while Ken’s introduction covers both of the above films, you only need to comment on the film that you watched. However, if you have already watched The True Cost, please feel free to reference it in your comment.
Please note that your YouTube comments on Ken’s short lectures on the films need to be completed by 6 AM on Monday, October 30.
