Video: The Story of Stuff

The film, The Story of Stuff, released in December 2007, is one of the most widely viewed environmental-themed short films of all time. It is an extremely well known example of advocacy journalism.

The film is mainly about the life-cycle of material goods. It outlines the cycle of consumerism and the hidden or secret costs of our consumer goods.



This is Annie Leonard on the Colbert Report (March 9, 2010) talking about the film, book and project:

The Story of Stuff Project was created by Annie Leonard to leverage the film’s impact. The site centres an on-line community of activists, and environmental and social justice organizations worldwide, and hosts a useful range of other films (including on cosmetics and bottled water), curricula and other content.
