Broken (2019)

Released in late 2019, Broken redefined the investigative consumer documentary for the streaming era. By exposing the dangerous realities behind everyday products—from counterfeit cosmetics to the hidden costs of fast furniture—the series forced viewers to confront the ethics of their own consumption. Its cultural footprint is found in the increased public skepticism toward disposable goods and the global supply chain. Unlike traditional news programs, this series utilized a cinematic approach to highlight corporate negligence and systemic failures. It remains a crucial piece of media that challenged the convenience of modern capitalism. Though the initial four episodes concluded the primary investigation, the lessons regarding sustainability and safety continue to resonate.
