ABOUT THE FILM
Plastic People by Ben Addelman, Ziya Tong / Canada / 2024 / 1h24 / English
The award-winning feature documentary Plastic People investigates our addiction to plastic and the growing threat of microplastics on human health. Almost every bit of plastic ever made breaks down into “microplastics.” These microscopic particles drift in the air, float in all bodies of water, and mix into the soil, becoming a permanent part of the environment. Now, leading scientists are finding these particles in our bodies: organs, blood, brain tissue, and even the placentas of new mothers. What is the impact of these invisible invaders on our health? And can anything be done about it?

We’ll be celebrating our Take Back the Tap campaign victory, discussing the Mug Movement campaign, sharing upcoming events and ways for you to get involved in making positive change for the coastal and marine environment!
