The Story of Stuff is an educational, short (20-minute) video that looks at global production and consumption:

From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world.

The video was put together by the Tide Foundation and Funders Workshop for Sustainable Production and Consumption.  Accompanying the video are links to additional resources and a blog.
