Above Under
Above Under is the suspenseful story of facing your own actions in the industrialized capitalist system of the fashion industry. The film documents the journey of one individual, oblivious to her own role in the degradation of the environment, confronting the waste and bondage of industrialization. Horrified by the trauma of detritus, she understands the role she plays in this cycle of wasteful fashion and frees herself from the captivity of inaction.
The only way out is up....
