Eva also delves into the fast fashion industry as a whole and the exploitation and environmental damage it causes. She further highlights the importance of consumer awareness and the need to buy less. Additionally, we discuss how she became interested in documentaries and the power they have to bring about change.

BRANDY HELLVILLE & THE CULT OF FAST FASHION dives int a world where fashion is identity for teenage girls and one brand, Brandy Melville, has developed a cult-like following despite its controversial “one size fits all” tagline. Hiding behind its shiny Instagram façade is a shockingly toxic world, a reflection of the global fast fashion industry. Through a calculated social media presence and promoting an unattainable aesthetic, fueled by Instagram campaigns featuring its own employees and select “Brandy girls,” Brandy Melville conferred a sense of coolness to the teens who wore the tiny clothes that quickly exploded and today has nearly 100 stores in over 15 countries and over 80 cities worldwide. Fast fashion isn't all glitz and glamor – it's an exploitative business that pollutes the planet for the sake of profit. Media stories have exposed some of Brandy Melville's unsavory practices and that's why some call it Brandy Hell-Ville. BRANDY HELLVILLE & THE CULT OF FAST FASHION examines the far-reaching reverberations of mass-produced fast fashion by Brandy Melville and other mainstream fashion brands, as well as the consequences of the collective increase in consumption and production of cheap clothing, traveling to Accra, Ghana, a destination for discarded textiles that end up polluting landfills and waters. Director Eva Orner joins us to talk about the cult-like brand and the devastating impact that fast fashion, disposable clothing, and the pernicious culture that Brandy management has cultivated inside and outside the stores, and how prescient BRANDY HELLVILLE & THE CULT OF FAST FASHION is for exposing systemic exploitation within the global fashion industry.

Brandy Melville grew a loyal following among Gen Z who flaunted their Brandy Melville baby tees in GRWM videos and clothing hauls. But recent reports of devastating waste, mountains of discarded clothing, along with allegations of racism, antisemitism, and sexism gave the world a much needed reality check about the brand. In this episode, Kiki conducts an eye opening interview with Eva Orner, director of the new documentary ‘Brandy Hell-ville and the Cult of Fast Fashion,' to discuss how and why former Brandy Melville employees blew the whistle, how the fast fashion industry is ruining our planet, and why those at the top must be held accountable.

From the deceptive allure of social media marketing to the stark reality of one-size-fits-all clothing's exclusivity, the discussion dives deep into the heart of the issues. The conversation also tackles the complex challenge of sustainable consumption, debunking the myth that eco-friendly fashion is a luxury only the wealthy can afford. This episode isn't just about the dark side of fashion—it's a call to action, a guide to making more ethical choices, and a tribute to the brave young women who dared to speak out against industry giants.

In this episode, I chat with Academy and Emmy Award-winning film producer and director EVA ORNER, whose incredible works include “Bikram: Yogi, Guru, Predator” on Netflix, “Burning” on Amazon Prime, "Chasing Asylum," "Out of Iraq," "Taxi to the Dark Side" (she won an Oscar for producing this), and "Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson." Listen as Eva shares some fascinating details about the making of her amazing documentary, "Burning," which takes an unflinching look at the unprecedented and catastrophic Australian bushfires of 2019-2020, known as ‘Black Summer.' Eva exposes the Australian government's negligence and disregard for climate change, as she documents the deadly effects of fire after fire throughout Australia over the decades. The film tackles the climate crisis head-on and leaves viewers longing for and demanding political change. Watch "Burning" on Amazon Prime now. There's a link to the film and the trailer below. We also discuss Eva's powerful feature doc about the criminal yoga guru, Bikram Choudhury, which is streaming on Netflix.

What was the role of climate change in the intense ‘Black Summer' bushfires in Australia in 2019/20, and what can Australia, do to change the increasingly-unstable direction that we're currently heading in?  As her award-winning climate change documentary, BURNING, is released on Prime Video, Eva Orner joins Emma for a fascinating conversation about how the climate crisis is playing out in Australia. The documentary (and this episode) explores the stories of the people on the ground fighting these fires and the communities experiencing the devastation first hand, what the warning signs were for our increasingly intense bushfire seasons, how the climate-concerned youth of Australia are shouldering a huge burden in an attempt to change policy, how frustrating the actions of Australian policymakers and media have been in laying roadblocks for mitigating the climate crisis, and what a greener future for Australia could look like.  Watch BURNING here: UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Burning-Eva-Orner/dp/B09M4674WT/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=eva+orner&qid=1637944658&sr=8-2 USA: https://www.amazon.com/Burning-EVA-ORNER/dp/B09M48MGYT/ref=sr_1_9?keywords=burning&qid=1637944569&s=instant-video&sr=1-9   !

Two years ago, as Covid was just beginning its deadly spread across the world, another crisis was reaching its peak in Australia. Known as the Black Summer, devastating bushfires ripped through many states, but were particularly catastrophic in the south-east, following a record-breaking drought.

Eva Orner is an Academy and Emmy award winning filmmaker. While she lives in the US these days, she's from Australia, and was here when this country burned so horrifically in the bushfires of 2019 and 2020. Like a lot of us, Eva was struck not just by the fires, but by the defensive political intransigence that persists to this day. So she joined forces with a team that includes the production company of fellow countrywoman Cate Blanchett, to produce and direct the new documentary film Burning. It recently premiered in Toronto, Europe, COP26 and Sydney, where it picked up the Sustainable Future Award. The Guardian describes it as: ‘one of those rare documentaries that boils your blood and rattles your bones, leaving viewers longing for and (hopefully) demanding political change…. it is the documentary Australia and – I think it is fair to say – the entire world deserves…' To tell you the truth, I'm often wary of watching films like this. I partly feel like I don't need to rub my nose in the disasters, given I spend my days immersed in all this. But I found it a brilliant film. Unsurprisingly, I guess. Eva is a master of her craft. But especially for how it emerges from the stories of those involved, to a deepening sense of the humanity and care most people share for each other and their places, and the sheer guts and courage that can inspire us to change our hopelessly detached political culture and related trajectory. I found where we end up here to be particularly powerful and instructive, courtesy of Bruce Pascoe's place in the film, and its multiple connections to the previous episode with Chris Henggeler. On how we're all challenged to learn anew now, in a time of degraded landscape and climate, including how to holistically manage burning. The film blurb reads: Burning takes an unflinching look at Australia's catastrophic ‘Black Summer' bushfires, as well as government inaction on climate change and media perceptions, posing questions about how we move forward as a nation to ensure this piece of history is never repeated. This episode was recorded at the Derby Media Aboriginal Corporation, with Eva in South Dakota shooting her next film, on 3 November 2021 (Australian time).

When director Eva Orner saw the 2019-2020 Australia fires, she wanted to address both the devastation and lack of political will to address the root causes. Her new film Burning, part of this year's TIFF lineup, does just that.

Omar's story and his journey to Canada as a refugee Imagine living in a country where, if you were found out to be gay by ISIS, you would be thrown off the tallest building around, while your family and friends were forced to watch. This is the story of Omar and two of the people who have been part of a very long process to bring him safely to Canada. As part of Omar’s application process for Rainbow Refugee, he wrote, “My name is Omar. I'm from Iraq and I'm gay. I left my family in Iraq and fled to Turkey in July 2014 to avoid dying at the hands of ISIS." - Omar's letter to Rainbow Refugee Last year, one of my closet friends, Ron Walker, asked if I would be one of Omar's sponsor for him to come to Canada as a refugee, with the help of the Rainbow Refugee. Ron suggested that, as a gay coach, I would be an invaluable resource for Omar to begin his journey as a gay man in a place where he can actually pursue his true identity. As we talk about the different parts of Omar’s life over the last five years it might seem like this was a quick and easy process. That is the furthest thing from the truth. Ron explains that the UNHCR process is long, arduous, and leaves the refugee as a non-person, without income or a way of supporting themselves in their temporary host-country. Omar arrived in Canada as an official refugee on May 7th, 2019. On Omar’s first weekend in Toronto, he celebrated his 31st birthday with many of the people who were instrumental in getting him out of Iraq and into Turkey, and eventually to Toronto, Canada. People came by airplane and car to greet Omar when he arrived at Toronto International Airport, and then to help him settle into his new life in Canada, One of those individuals is Michael Failla who has made it one of his missions in life to help gay men safely escape countries like Iraq for being gay, as well as other lesbians and trans people who are persecuted and living in countries where they fear for their lives. Omar’s story is a reminder of the freedoms and liberties we take for granted in North America, like for example the upcoming LGBTQ Pride in Toronto, which will be the very first Pride that Omar will attend. That's worth celebrating!

Ron lives in Toronto, Canada. He can be reached at ronwalker223@gmail.com. About Michael Failla In 2012 academy award winning documentarian Eva Orner was at a party in Hollywood and heard about Michael’s refugee work. She accompanied him on a trip to the middle east and in conjunction with World of Wonder made the documentary, “Out of Iraq.” The movie is a love story about two Iraqi soldiers who fall in love during the invasion of Iraq, their immense commitment to each other and their struggle to escape Iraq and become resettled in a safe country. Theirs is a story of two of the many refugees Michael has assisted. Michael is currently assisting several LGBTQI people in difficult situations who are seeking resettlement. Due to the changes in the US administration he has shifted his focus to Canada and is working in concert with Canadian LGBTQI Refugee organizations to get those he is helping into Canada’s private sponsorship resettlement program. Michael lives with his husband, Gary Hamer in Seattle, WA. He can be reached at mfailla@aol.com. Out of Iraq Trailer https://youtu.be/uHM644btn3c

Emmy and Academy Award winning producer and director, Eva Orner has taken us behind the walls of Guantanamo Bay, Nauru and Manus Island detention centres with her eye opening documentaries 'Taxi to the Dark Side' and 'Chasing Asylum'. Jenny Cooney talks to Melbourne born Eva about the risks she faces making films in such volatile locations, the importance of bringing political issues into the public consciousness, even if it means endangering her life, and how  telling stories in a way that is also social activism wasn't Eva's original intention when becoming a film maker. 

Eva Orner’s documentary exposes the repugnant, inhumane ways the Australian government treats asylum seekers and its attempts to hide these atrocities.

Two-time Palme d'Or winners the Dardenne brothers discuss their response to the surprisingly negative reaction to their latest film. Plus: Oscar winner Eva Orner explains how her new documentary caught the attention of Australia’s border force and we talk to one of the stars of the famously awful film ‘The Room’.

Film critic Luke Buckmaster speaks with Chasing Asylum director Eva Orner and Guardian Australia reporter Melissa Davey after a screening of the documentary for Guardian Australia's Film Club. They discuss safeguarding sources, why Orner decided to show security guards' faces and how the film's release strategy was designed to avoid government interference

Eva Orner is an Academy Award-winning documentarian who is exposing Australia's shameful offshore detention regime with her new film Chasing Asylum. The documentary features never-before-seen footage from inside the camps on Nauru and Manus Island and brave whistleblowers speaking out about the horrific things they've witnessed.  I've seen it and (unsurprisingly) it made me cry and it made me even more furious. Here Eva details her motivation to make work that speaks to power, torture, her frustrations with the refugee debate in Australia, the parallels between the persecution of Jews under Nazi Germany and Australia's detention system today, government secrecy and what might just help change the conversation.  The World Keeps Happening at the Sydney Comedy Store, July 9th The World Keeps Happening at the 2016 Edinburgh Fringe Festival @evaorner @chasingasylum chasingasylum.com.au Chasing Asylum screenings Take Action GetUp petition - Bring Them Here It's Okay To Compare Australia In 2016 With Nazi Germany, And Here’s Why by David Berger Taxi To The Dark Side trailer Cause of the Week: Go see "Chasing Asylum"!

But so is fun stuff - we chat about the dangers of reading online comments, facebook stalking for the greater good, dressing appropriately for the Oscars and befriending the likes of Javier Bardem on Award Season red carpets. 

In today's show we make a number of predictions about what business can expect in 2014 and we have New Year's resolutions from a number of the great guests we have had on the show in 2013, including venture capitalists such as Tim Draper, Academy Award winner Eva Orner, Scott Ross who headed up Industrial Light and Magic, Jamie Power of JD power and Associates fame, and academic Linda Maddox from George Washington University and a host of others. We also have a wonderful interview with John Maddox who I think has one of the best initiatives to assist entrepreneurs that I've heard in all my years in business. Instead of just investing money in projects, John has put together an extraordinary team of technology and software specialists who develop the project for the entrepreneur at no cost, in exchange for a shareholding. Not only does their fantastic expertise enhance the project but they also commercialize it for the entrepreneur.

We discuss why the technology giants are concerned about the environment, treat their staff well, provide healthcare but have an appallingly low number of women in board and management positions; on the two-year anniversary of Steve Jobs passing we reflect on some of his more memorable comments and Nielsen now measuring TV related tweets. We also discuss consumer purchasing benefits and why product, price, brand awareness and satisfied customers are no longer important in today's business. We have our regular email segment and a great interview guest. Eva Orner is an Academy award-winning producer and director who has a new riveting and challenging documentary, Network about the creation of Afghanistan's first free media in this war-torn country. The network, TOLO TV was also groundbreaking in that it features a large number of highly talented women in a country where women's education and employment meets violent response from the Taliban.

Filmmaker, director and Academy Award winner, Eva Orner is our guest this week on Yoshi Didn't. Eva won an Oscar and Emmy for her documentary "Taxi to the Dark Side" directed by Alex Gibney in 2008. The controversial film exposed the U.S. government's unlawful torture techniques post-911 that consequently helped change U.S. policy thereafter. Eva's current film, "The Network," documents entrepreneur Saad Mohseni's creation of Afghanistan's first independent television station, TOLO and its impact on Afghan politics and culture. Yoshi's personal connection to Afghanistan leads the discourse in examining the political landscape and oppression in the war torn country, Eva shares stories of life and death while living in Afghanistan, the humanizing relationships they built with locals and the voice Afghans attained in creating media culture away from the tragedies of war and terror.  Follow Eva on Twitter: @evaorner and @thenetworkmovie --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/yoshi-didnt-podcast/message
