Plasticized Documentary

The documentary 'plasticized' was made by Michael J. Lutman.

It was extremely in depth and shows different places that have suffered by how they have evidence of 'the human footprint has reached every corner of the earth, even if we have not been there'.
It starts off by him talking about how everyone use to be respectful of it and how it has changed over the years, because of this they go travelling to see just how bad it is.
Plasticized is a close look into a journey with the 5 Gyres Institute to the first scientific expedition where they look at plastic waste from over the South Atlantic. Makes you more aware of the institutes global missions, studying the effects, reality and the size of plastic pollution around the world. The cast Marcus Eriksen and Anna Cummins are played by themselves. We follow them on their expedition and they tell us what usually happens when they go and get interviewed along the way.
