42nd Annual News and Documentary Emmy Award Winner for Best Writing: Documentary Category
The Story of Plastic is a searing expose, uncovering the ugly truth behind plastic pollution and the false solution of plastic recycling. Different from every other plastic documentary you’ve seen, The Story of Plastic presents a cohesive timeline of how we got to our current global plastic pollution crisis and how the oil and gas industry has successfully manipulated the narrative around it. This film introduces audiences to the heroes and the villains behind one of the world’s most pressing environmental issues, from the extraction of fossil fuels to plastic disposal and the global resistance fighting back.
The Story of Plastic’s message about the need for systemic change and creating a more sustainable and equitable world is more important than ever.
The Break Free From Plastic (BFFP) movement is calling on everyone to do what they can to ensure
that real solutions to the plastic pollution crisis are deployed, vulnerable communities are protected, and that corporations and governments are held accountable.
After screening or watching The Story of Plastic, you’re invited to join an existing BFFP project/campaign or start one of your own! Screening hosts and audiences will receive a kit containing specific steps to take action and the types of support BFFP offers.
