You’re invited to a special online film screening of THE STORY OF PLASTIC, an award-winning new documentary film which exposes the local and global environmental, climate, justice, and health impacts of the plastic industry. This film takes a sweeping look at the ugly truth behind the man-made crisis of plastic pollution and the global movement fighting back with real solutions.

ABOUT THE FILM

Striking footage shot over three continents illustrates the ongoing catastrophe: fields full of garbage, veritable mountains of trash; rivers and seas clogged with waste; and skies choked with the poisonous runoff from plastic production and recycling processes with no end in sight. Original animations, interviews with experts and activists, and never-before-filmed scenes reveal the disastrous consequences of the flood of plastic smothering ecosystems and poisoning communities around the world – and the global movement rising up in response.

*Note for global audiences: Subtitles will be available in 26 languages!
