- Amanda Blair, founder of Dulcie's vintage bus and shops, established to reduce fabric waste in landfill and support people experiencing homelessness.
- Josephine McKenzie, phd candidate researching on the role of corporate social responsibility in the Australian fashion industry.

Where: Alliance Française, 319 Young Street, Wayville

About the screening: this 2021 documentary is a haunting investigation of the alarmingly dangerous realities of the fast fashion industry. As the title suggests, directors Gilles Bovon (French director, screenwriter and chief editor) and Édouard Perrin (French investigative reporter) seek to provide the viewer with both the origin story of the fast fashion industry and the quickly compounding factors as we continue to purchase it, condensing the history, dangers, and implications of fast fashion.
