This is a trailer for the upcoming docuality series "T.I.A.-Trashion In Africa", which documents Eric Kimmel's second-hand fashion business in Sierra Leone.
The clothes comes from the US to Sierra Leone, where they are cut up, stiched back together and added to using various traditional African techniques. They are then sold back to the US market.
The business provides many job opportunities for Sierra Leoneans and at the same time a significant portion of the profits are reinvensted in Sierra Leone communities.
