Join the online film premiere screening and panel discussion of the new film, Willow & Claude on July 22nd at 6 pm. This film is inviting us realise there might be much more to uncover in the ethical textile production space. It's exposing and teeing up deeper conversations about sheep rearing and the production of wool. Even though it's a natural textile and thus more sustainable, what's actually going on in the sheep farms? And what are the lives of the animals like? There will be a deep dive into these and other questions.
Willow & Claude follows our founder Emma Hakansson through her journey to find totally ethical knitwear — that which respects humans and non-humans, as well as the planet.
After learning about the dark side of the wool industry, it is clear that there must be an alternative — because ‘ethical fashion’ didn’t line up with what was happening to sheep raised for wool.
Panellists are:
Emma Hakansson – Founder of Collective Fashion Justice
Nina Gbor – Founder of Eco Styles
Renee Anderson - Cotton Farmer and Farm Sustainability Advisor
*Panel moderated by Tessa Carroll, Founder of A_C Official
