One year on, The Story of Stuff goes international

To celebrate its one year anniversary, the Story of Stuff website has just launched an international edition. It follows a year in which almost 5 million people have seen the film, in classrooms, film festivals, on TV, and in churches, and the simple presentation on consumerism has won awards and inspired debate around the world.

Requests have poured in for translations of the film, and Free Range Studios have been working on a range of languages. Subtitled versions in Arabic, Dutch, English, French, German, Hebrew, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Taiwanese and Thai are available now, with dubbed versions to follow next year.
