A Plastic Ocean

is a film to make you think. Think, and then act. We need to take action on our

dependence on plastic. We've been producing plastic in huge quantities since the 1940s. Drink

bottles, shopping bags, toiletries and even clothes are made with plastic. We live in a world full

of plastic, and only a small proportion is recycled. What happens to all the rest? This is the

question the film

A Plastic Ocean

answers. It is a documentary that looks at the impact that

plastic waste has on the environment. Spoiler alert: the impact is devastating.

The film begins as a journey to film the largest animal on the planet, the blue whale. But during

the journey the filmmakers (journalist Craig Leeson and environmental activist Tanya Streeter)

make the shocking discovery of a huge, thick layer of plastic floating in the middle of the Indian

Ocean.

This

prompts them to travel around the world to look at other areas that have been

affected. In total, they visited 20 locations around the world during the four years it took them

to make the film. The documentary premiered in 2016, and is now on streaming services such

as Netflix.

It's very clear that a lot of research went into the film. There are beautiful shots of the seas and

marine life. These are contrasted with scenes of polluted cities and dumps full of plastic rubbish.

We see how marine species are being killed by all the plastic we are dumping in the ocean. The

message about our use of plastic is painfully obvious.

But the film doesn't only present the negative side. In the second half, the filmmakers look at

what we can do to reverse the tide of plastic flowing around the world. They present short-term

and long-term solutions. These include avoiding plastic containers and ‘single-use’ plastic

products as much as possible. Reuse your plastic bags and recycle as much as you can. The

filmmakers also stress the need for governments to work more on recycling programmes, and

look at how technology is developing that can convert plastic into fuel.

We make a staggering amount of plastic. In terms of plastic bags alone, we use five hundred

billion worldwide annually. Over 300 million tons of plastic are produced every year, and at

least 8 million of those are dumped into the oceans. The results are disastrous, but it isn't too

late to change. Once you've seen

A Plastic Ocean, you'll realise the time is now and we all have

a role to play.
