Our Creatives in Residence Project Fashion Fixed present a screening of The Big Sea following the screening of Woman Grows Jeans.
The Big Sea explores the hidden environmental cost of neoprene, the material used in wetsuits and many performance textiles. Following the journey from chemical production to ocean use, the film reveals how the manufacture of neoprene impacts local waters, ecosystems and communities.
If Woman Grows Jeans shows what a better textile future could look like, The Big Sea reveals one of the industry’s more troubling realities.
This powerful documentary investigates neoprene, the material used in wetsuits and many performance textiles, uncovering the environmental and human impacts hidden behind a product closely associated with ocean culture.
