Denim lovers! Check out this film that is part of the Denver Film Festival! From their origins as miners’ work pants in the 1880s, to countercultural statement, to expensive designer trend, BLUE GOLD traces the history of blue jeans around the globe. Idahoan Eric Schrader, a vintage-jeans trader, explains how this symbol of Americana became the world’s most fetishized fashion item, coveted and collected at high stakes by the Japanese and others. From its beginning as an American-made product to its modern-day production in Asia’s sweatshops, denim’s global reach now demands social and environmental responsibility. Documenting jeans history across the world with interviews and fashion footage, the film examines the one piece of clothing on earth that ties everyone together. denverfilm.org/festival/film/detail.aspx?id=26939&fid=80
