Bangladesh: The End of Fast Fashion? (S14E29)
S14E29
Bangladesh boasts the world's second-largest garment industry, which for years has satisfied Europe and America's demand for fast fashion. However, as the coronavirus pandemic unfolded, over two billion pounds in clothing orders were canceled, leading to the closure of numerous factories. This crisis dealt a severe blow to an industry that supports countless livelihoods. Our World highlights factory owner Mostafiz Uddin, who is on the verge of losing everything, and introduces us to the women workers whose jobs have vanished. Has the pandemic permanently altered our clothing consumption habits, and what about those who are being overlooked in the process?
