每年我们把数千吨的弃置衣物/旧衣物捐到慈善商店。但这些旧衣物的下场如何？原来大部分旧衣物都不曾放到慈善商店的货架，而是被送到非洲。虽然我们将衣物免费送出，但这些我们放弃的衣物却造就了价值数百万美元的工业，而某些世上最穷的人会花大笔金钱去购买。

在这套揭露实况的影片，残奥运动员艾迪・艾代皮登会向我们讲述这些旧衣服会有何有趣的遭遇。他首先去到入口最多二手衫的加纳。每星期加纳会接收一千吨我们的旧衣物。艾迪跟在这里靠二手衫维持生计的人见面，这些人包括批发商、市集商人，还有可以在一日内赚取(当地人)超过一年人工的进口商人。

但不是所有人都因为这些二手衫而得益。西方的廉价服装在市面上泛滥，令当地纺织业差不多消失殆尽。艾迪到访其中一家仅存的布料工厂，发觉他们正挣扎求存。我们的二手衫不单令职位减少，还对加纳的文化造成影响。西式服装迅速取代西非的特别图案和传统服饰。艾迪去到偏僻村落，发现所有人都穿着英国的高档品牌。预备好你的心情，看看你的衣服那段不为人知的旅程。

Each year, we give thousands of tons of our unwanted clothes to charity shops. But where do they actually go? It turns out most don't ever reach the rail of the local charity shop. Instead - they are exported to Africa. And even though we have given them away for free, our castoffs have created a multimillion-dollar industry and some of the world's poorest people pay good money to buy them.

In this revealing film, charismatic paralympian Ade Adepitan tells the fascinating story of the afterlife of our clothes. He follows the trail to Ghana, the biggest importer of our castoffs where 1000’s of tonnes of our old clothes arrive every week. Ade meets the people who make a living from our old castoffs, from wholesalers and markets traders to the importers raking in more than the average yearly wage in a single day!

But not everyone is profiting…With cheaply made western clothes flooding the market, the local textile industry has been decimated. Ade visits one of the last remaining cloth factories and finds it on its knees. And the deluge of our clothes isn't just destroying jobs; it has also had a knock-on effect on Ghanaian culture. Western outfits are fast replacing iconic West African prints and traditional garb. Ade travels to remote villages to find everyone wearing British high street brands. Prepare to open your eyes… to the secret life of your clothes.
