When an ambitious experiment between a textile activist and a celebrity clothier meets inevitable challenges, one woman is propelled into an initiation that makes British fashion history.
Justine Aldersley-Williams, a Wirral-based regenerative clothing activist, botanical textile dyer and founder of the Northern England Fibreshed, along with a community of volunteers in the industrial heartland of British textiles, sets out to do something unprecedented – to grow a pair of jeans from scratch, planting flax and indigo, spinning yarn and weaving cloth. This inspiring and uplifting film is about perseverance, interconnectedness and hope, and is a must-see for anyone who cares about making truly sustainable textiles.
