WHY PLASTIC?

Plastic is a revolutionary material. It’s durable, affordable, multi-functional - and it has pushed our planet to the brink of one of the worst environmental crises in modern history. Plastic is also a topic marked by misleading information and general confusion. WHY PLASTIC? is a three-part investigative documentary series busts the myths and misinformation, taking a closer look at what is fact and what is fiction. Each film investigates a different aspect of plastic pollution: Recycling, Human Health and The Industry. We believe that civic education and free access to reliable media is a critical step in addressing social issues and effecting change. Documentary film is a powerful tool, helping to convey important information and spread knowledge. WHY PLASTIC? is our contribution to a more nuanced and factual debate around plastic pollution and the problems connected to it, such as the climate crisis, environmental justice and public health.
