When people in the West throw their clothes away, their cast-offs often go on a journey east, across the oceans, to India’s industrial interior. From the Kutch District of western India to the northern city of Panipat, garment recyclers turn into yarn the huge bales of clothes that come from people and places distinctly strange. With little exposure to Western culture other than the Discovery Channel, the garment recyclers rely on their imagination and the rumours that travel with the cast-offs to create an an intriguing perspective on the West.

This is heartbreaking. They spend all day surrounded by our trash and cast-offs, either wishing they could be like us or are genuinely confused by our lifestyle because of the obvious waste and greed. Most of these clothes are brand new. They are discarded to create scarcity and justify costs in Western fashion industry. Those women in the video are absolutely radiant just the way they are.

@NativeVsColonial 3 года назад

All credit goes to the Europeans and our puppet politicians to use us as slaves to serve your caucasian race. Luxury is not written in our fate. India's first PM Subhash Chandra Bose was murdered by the Britishers and they installed Gandhi and Nehru as their stooge in India. India never became independent, only the transfer of power that has happened. The Indian spirit died in 1947.

@Tara_P_Rose 2 года назад

If she ever is able to travel, it’d probably better if she spends the money on a little house instead of going to America. It would be something that would last forever & won’t be half as disappointing either. The amount of going to America could buy her a little house with some left over. I’ve been to India three times & lived there as a child. My Canadian dollars weren’t much here but in India it was enough to live, eat & travel fairly comfortable.

Eye opening

@billybelcaro9585 6 лет назад

7:30 "Makes me laugh imagining how people wear them, trousers that can fit 4 people inside." She also wonders what one could possibly eat to attain that size. I watched another documentary about life for garment workers in China who were similarly perplexed at the size of some clothing. They just couldn't fathom the reality. This isn't to speak ill of larger people, instead how many have never even witnessed immense people and likely marvel at the ability to access such surplus.

I think it is sad that beautiful, almost never worn clothes are intentionally shredded to be spun into yarn. Yes, the purchaser fears theft, but the deliberate tearing up regardless of condition of the garment seems a little excessive. Couldn't there be better sorting and redistribution to benefit others? For example there is currently a crisis for people of the Ukraine. Is this the "Final Resting Place" for the donated items placed in the Red Cross bins which state' this is a material recycling program? How about the Helpsey donation bins: is there some sorting that could benefit the refugees of the Ukraine with the actual clothes donated?
