Where does all the plastic go? Filmmaker Ian Connacher takes the viewer on a global journey, tracing the route of plastic refuse to 12 countries, five continents and the depths of the Pacific Ocean, with a host of scientific experts along for the ride. This comprehensive investigative report illustrates the history, proliferation and environmentally dire legacy of the most versatile material ever invented, sounding some alarming warnings about its impact on the evolution of life itself. The Cryptic Moth production also points to potential solutions, including recent advancements toward biodegradable plastic made from plants.
A community discussion will follow the film.
