Plasticized(2011)

an oceanic catastrophe

Plasticized is a documentary that takes viewers aboard a transatlantic expedition to confront the scale of ocean plastic pollution. While headlines focus on massive garbage patches and ghost nets, the film reveals a more insidious threat: microscopic plastic particles infiltrating every level of marine life. These fragments, invisible to the naked eye, have reached even the remotest corners of the ocean, contaminating ecosystems from surface waters to the deepest depths. The expedition provides unembellished evidence that human waste has touched every major ocean on Earth, regardless of whether we've physically explored those waters. Plasticized exposes how our plastic footprint has become a pervasive, systemic problem—one that demands urgent attention and action.
