Join us as we follow the global fast fashion value chain and its harmful impact on Accra's environment, economy, and society. Huge amounts of old clothes and fast-fashion waste are shipped from industrialized countries to Ghana every week. But this is only half the story: not far from the waste chaos lies a jewel - the vintage paradise of Ghana, where thrift dreams come true and thousands of people make business with the clothes. Kantamanto is the largest used clothing market in West Africa and a labyrinth. Who else is behind this? Dop: Moritz v.
