In recent years, increasing numbers of brands have committed to selling “ethical” cotton.
It’s the soft, natural fabric associated with high quality and versatility. Used to make everything from jeans and t-shirts to tarpaulins, oil and cattle feed, it powers a 37 billion euros a year industry. But is cotton really as pure as it seems? Claims of forced labour, pollution, and even slavery have stained its wholesome reputation, creating a market for ’ethical, responsible’ cotton. In this investigation, we follow the production chain to find out how cotton is really made and examine the claims of the ethical cotton labels.
An informative documentary about the world of biotechnology:
Developing new medicines, breeding better plant varieties, making cleaning supplies more efficient - we are using biotechnology to develop new technologies or improve existing products.

The global art market is a very good example of how power and zero regulation, coupled with good marketing, create an opaque market. Moconomy's new documentary analyses the system.
The global art market is worth 67.8 billion dollars. An ecosystem of extremes, characterised by profound power structures. A glamorous marketplace of vanity, myth and hipness in the hands of a few influential players. Behind the glittering facade, inequality and competition reign supreme. Industrialisation has been taking place since the 1990s.This has accelerated the art trade and globalised collective taste, but the art market itself remains largely opaque, but why? How does the global art market work? Who sets the prices? How do the auction houses and galleries operate? Why do the super-rich invest in art, what do artists really get in the end, and how does the internet influence the art trade? Moconomy takes a look from the German art market into the mechanisms of the global art industry.

Ruja and her cronies invented a new, favourable exchange rate every day. And it worked: OneCoin was soon hyped as the cryptocurrency for the poor. A currency that would turn paupers into princes.
