Synopsis
Buy Now! The Shopping Conspiracy (2024) is a documentary you can watch online on iFILM — 85 minutes pulling apart the machinery that keeps us buying things we don't need.
Former insiders from major brands step forward and explain the playbook from the inside: gadgets engineered to die on schedule, packaging tuned to trigger one more impulse, a sale that conveniently never ends. Director Nic Stacey then follows the trail past the checkout — mountains of returns, clothing dumped in Chile's Atacama desert, the short road from store shelf to landfill. No lectures here, just the cold arithmetic of demand laid bare.
Stacey builds the film out of whistleblower testimony and on-the-ground footage, sketching an economy that profits when you stay unhappy with what you already own. It's an uncomfortable watch, and that discomfort is the point. Stream Buy Now! The Shopping Conspiracy (2024) online on iFILM.
