The Story of Stuff

Jennifer Bryant

Annie Leornard presents a short, digestable overview of the marketplace from a sometimes fact-based, sometimes progressive point of view. Although this presentation is an over simplified version of the marketplace, and sometimes unfair portrayal of the purpose of corporations, a good number of facts are hopefully startling and alarming enough to create a foundation of discussion concerning the realities of a "linear system on a finite planet".

From Story of Stuff;

From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view.

The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It'll teach you something, it'll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever.
