Brandy Hellville & The Cult of Fast Fashion
Brandy Hellville & The Cult of Fast Fashion uncovers the toxic origins and culture of the Brandy Melville teen brand and the global ramifications of mass-produced clothing.
Based on Business Insider investigative reporter Kate Taylor’s shocking 2021 exposé, the HBO documentary is directed by Oscar and Emmy winner Eva Orner, with Oscar winner Simon Chinn (Searching for Sugar Man) and Oscar nominee Jonathan Chinn (David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived) producing.
Brandy Hellville & The Cult of Fast Fashion examines the far-reaching repercussions of mass-produced fast fashion, travelling to Accra, Ghana, a destination for discarded textiles that end up polluting landfills and waters.
The documentary has a 100% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with Decider saying, “Even though many of us know in our hearts that fast fashion is bad news, the film puts faces to its victims and clearly illustrates just how wasteful and destructive it is.”
