Presented by Fashion Takes Action and co-hosted by Ryerson University's School of Fashion The True Cost will be screening at the Ryerson University Ted Rogers School of Management June 24th, 2015 at 6pm. 2013 with the collapse of the Rana Plaza factory in Bangladesh. With the Canadian government now looking closely at ethical procurement guidelines, and the recent class action suits against Wal-Mart and Loblaw Companies tied to the deaths at Rana Plaza, the release of this gritty behind-the-scenes documentary could not be timelier.
