This is a story about a plot to trash the planet and the global movement rising-up to stop it! THE STORY OF PLASTIC takes a sweeping look at the man-made crisis of plastic pollution and the worldwide effect it has on the health of our planet and the people who inhabit it. Spanning three continents, the film illustrates the ongoing catastrophe: fields full of garbage, veritable mountains of trash, rivers and seas clogged with waste, and skies choked with the poisonous emissions from plastic production and processing. The film premiered on Earth Day April 22nd 2020 and is currently ONLY available via the DiscoveryGo subscription service and through online 'Community Screenings' like-this. World Environment Day is the United Nations day for encouraging worldwide awareness and action to protect our environment.
