The Story of Stuff

Here is a short documentary on the consumer culture so prevelant in US which is also rampantly spreading like a virus to other developing nations. We rarely realize how deep we are getting sucked into a constant cycle of consuming more and more.

Excerpt about the film:

"From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It'll teach you something, it'll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever."
