About the event

Plastic Earth is a groundbreaking documentary that explores the urgent need to address the global plastic crisis. With plastic production from fossil-based sources on the rise, the world is facing an existential threat from climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss.

The film follows Janice Overbeck, a concerned mother, as she embarks on a journey to uncover the full extent of the problem and the innovative solutions being developed to tackle it. Through interviews with leading scientists, engineers, researchers, and environmental advocates, Janice gains unique insights into the efforts to control the plastic epidemic.

Featuring the stories of the world's unsung heroes, Plastic Earth showcases the innovative technologies and visionary solutions that offer hope for a sustainable future.

This timely and impactful documentary will inspire and inform audiences about the importance of taking action to protect our planet for generations to come.
