Description
Join us to watch a documentary that unravels how the vicious cycle of consumerism is powered by companies that encourage our shopping addictions. And question the wider environmental impact of our shopping habits.
How have the Apple, Amazon and Adidas of the world used clever marketing to keep us buying more? And where do all the products we no longer want go?
Come to watch “Buy Now!” and join in a group discussion afterwards. Together we will question the documentary’s messages and storytelling tools, and ask ourselves what are the alternatives and what will we do next?
Bring your friends, all are welcome!
