The film opens with Earth in the grips of a "global underwear crisis." Even as garment factories churn out new pairs of underwear, old and discarded tighty-whities are filling trash cans and clogging landfills.

Now, one company has sent out the intimate apparel help-signal to "their elite undie problem-solver." Go to Japan, they cry. Join forces with a textile producer who is recycling used polyester undergarments. And then, convince underwear-wearers of the world to recycle their worn-out boxers, briefs, and panties.

Our noble waste fighter, clothed appropriately in tights and external skivvies, blasts to the Far East where he attempts to spread the word.

Once there, he offends the ladies (whack!), pisses off the guys (pow!), and is rebuffed by a bunch of cool Tokyo retro-punks. Will he save the day? We leave that for you to see in this immensely enjoyable under-mentary.

Check out Patagonia's Common Threads Garment Recycling Program. And remember: Put those skivvies to use!
