The Cost of Convenience: 'Buy Now' interactive film screening

Join UCL’s Waste & Circular Economy team for an interactive screening of Buy Now: The Shopping Conspiracy, exploring how consumerism and overproduction fuel waste. Directed by Emmy-winning writer and filmmaker Nic Stacey, Buy Now! The Shopping Conspiracy pulls back the curtain on the world’s top brands, exposing the hidden tactics and covert strategies used to keep all of us locked in an endless cycle of buying—no matter the cost.
