About this Event
WaterBear presents SLAY, a feature length documentary, co-produced by the award-winning co-director and producer, Keegan Kuhn, which follows investigative filmmaker Rebecca Cappelli as she travels around the world to uncover the dark side of the fashion industry. SLAY takes a unique perspective on the animal skins trade by focusing on the animals, while exposing fashion’s greenwashing tactics - without forgetting the people who work and live at the mercy of the industry.
Three years in the making, SLAY features inspiring experts within the fashion sustainability space and the animal rights movement, with Samata Pattinson, Bandana Tewari, Dana Thomas, Joshua Katcher, Lucy Watson, Earthling Ed, Melanie Joy, Emma Hakansson, Alexi Lubomirski and more.
WaterBear is the first network of its kind: a free streaming platform dedicated to the future of our planet showcasing hundreds of award-winning documentaries. For more information about WaterBear and to sign up visit the website.
