Sky is about to launch Junk – Armadi Pieni
(tr. Junk – Full Closets), a new docu-series exploring the heavy polluting effects
produced by fast fashion and our consumption habits. Co-produced by Sky and Italian
media company Will Media, the 6-episode docu-series will debut on Tuesday, April
4th on demand on Sky, streaming on NOW and on Sky Italia’s YouTube
channel. From Saturday, April 8th the docu-series will also be
available on Sky TG24.
Junk – Armadi Pieni revolves around the
environmental and social impact that excessive clothing consumption has on our
planet. Each episode delves into a different consequence of clothing
overconsumption, while exploring different countries affected by this
phenomenon: from Chile and Ghana, which have become the world’s textile
landfills, to Indonesia, where the production of artificial fibers is
destroying the country’s biodiversity; from Bangladesh, where the country is
still recovering from the collapse of Rana Plaza textile factory, to India,
whose culture has been disrupted by cotton cultivation; and finally, the
journey ends in Italy, to show less visible but nonetheless serious problems
due to fast fashion.
Written and directed by Olmo Parenti and Matteo
Keffer (A Thing By), Junk – Armadi Pieni is hosted by co-author Matteo Ward, entrepreneur
and activist who researched the scientific content of the series.
