Academy Award winning filmmaker Eva Orner joins the show to discuss her riveting new HBO documentary, "Brandy Hellville and the Cult of Fast Fashion," which is streaming now on MAX. She discusses the challenges of exposing a global, popular and successful... but extremely toxic fashion brand like Brandy Melville and the role of social media in its success. Eva also addresses the lack of accountability from the CEO of Brandy Melville and the responsibility of parents in supporting their young daughters, whom make up a majority of the Brandy Melville employees.
Eva also delves into the fast fashion industry as a whole and the exploitation and environmental damage it causes. She further highlights the importance of consumer awareness and the need to buy less. Additionally, we discuss how she became interested in documentaries and the power they have to bring about change. Lastly, Eva teases her upcoming documentary on the Ohio State wrestling scandal, which is executive produced by George Clooney.
