Produced by Aftenposten, the largest newspaper in Norway, this series seeks to inform a popular audience about the conditions that generate fast fashion. In the first of these five episodes, three young Norwegians blithely describe the large wardrobes they have accumulated. Two of the three became activists after traveling to Cambodia, witnessing the poverty and harsh working conditions in the factories there, and realizing that it is the exploitation of such labor that makes the production of the clothes they buy so profitable.
