Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The film centers on global fashion industry issues, often emphasizing themes of exploitation, capitalism, and social justice. While the message is clear, it occasionally prioritizes ideological focus over nuanced storytelling or a balanced examination of economic complexities. Still, it's a documentary, so some bias is inherent.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Traditional values such as free market principles and Western capitalism are portrayed critically, with little defense of the industries or acknowledgment of their benefits. Family, religion, and cultural traditions aren't directly attacked, but Western economic methods are put firmly under the microscope.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film mainly presents one perspective, focusing on the negative consequences of global capitalism. Dissenting or alternative viewpoints, such as those of business owners or economists who support free markets, receive very little sincere representation or debate.
