Most of us wear jeans almost every day. Very few of us have any idea how they’re actually made.
Woman Grows Jeans follows one woman’s attempt to grow, spin, dye, weave and sew a pair of jeans entirely from scratch.
What the film reveals isn’t the romantic notion of a heritage craft, but the economics of clothing production itself. It took around 600 hours to make one pair of jeans. What does that say about the true cost of the pairs we buy for £20?
After the screening we’ll be joined for a live online Q&A with producer, grower and textile artist Justine Aldersey-Williams, the woman behind the jeans themselves.
