You give an old shirt or dress to a charity. Then, you forget all about it. But - without knowing it - you have had a huge impact on people you don't know, people throughout the world; and that impact is not all good.

You give an old shirt or dress to a charity. Then, you forget all about it. But - without knowing it - you have had a huge impact on people you don't know, people throughout the world; and that impact is not all good. By following the strange, colorful, unpredictable voyage of one second hand shirt, Abloni plunges us into the huge worldwide business of second hand clothes. You give an old shirt or dress to a charity. Then, you forget all about it. But - without knowing it - you have had a huge impact on people throughout the world; and that impact is not all good. By following the strange, colorful, unpredictable voyage of one second hand shirt, Abloni plunges us into the huge worldwide business of second hand clothes. Exploring a vast range of locations, and entering into the lives of a colorful cast of characters, Abloni reveals how the second hand clothes business creates a livelihood for a whole chain of wholesalers and retailers and supports charities and recycles waste products in rich countries. At the same time it destroys the textile industries and textile traditions of poor countries, revolutionizing style and fashion in places as far away as a small village in central Togo. Second-hand clothing has led to the birth of a new hybrid African style that creatively mixes western fashions with local textiles and patterns. As it follows a single shirt, Abloni reveals to us an unknown cross section of the economic structure of our contemporary world.

A documentary on the making of Shumka’s Ancestors & Elders which follows the production Co-Directors: Indigenous theatre artist Barry Bilinsky and Shumka choreographer and dancer Joseph Hoffman. The documentary focuses on the artists’ creative process as they navigate the difficulties of uniting their respective cultural stories, while dancing around 150 years of cultural baggage. What story should we tell? How is each of our cultures portrayed? How do we depict the struggles that each of our peoples encountered? All questions considered as the journey of the creative process became bigger than the work itself. Various behind-the-scenes aspects of Ancestors & Elders are examined including costuming, music, and production - intertwined with elements of the stage show - to tell the story of the creation of this ground-breaking production.
