T-SHIRT TRAVELS takes us on a journey from our local charity bin to the remote fishing villages of Southern Africa where our donations are put to use.  Focusing on Zambia, this documentary investigates the secondhand clothes business and seeks to understand and illuminate the growing inequalities between the North and the South. The film explores how a continent rich with natural resources and human potential has become the dumping ground for our old clothes and other discarded goods, and uncovers an enduring spirit and resilience to survive. We meet Luka, who at 19 years old must support his family by selling and trading clothes in remote western Zambia. Through his story we see how our old clothes constitute the backbone of Zambia’s growing informal economy and provide a livelihood for many. The film gives voice to Africans and allows them to explain the challenges they face in a global economy, while also exploring the underlying reasons why so many Africans remain in poverty.
