Plastic Everywhere

Plastic is both a marvel and hellish stuff. On the one hand, it can be used in a variety of ways and is inexpensive. However, it is responsible for a global environmental problem. Plastic is everywhere: as a trash vortex in the ocean and as microplastics in our food chain. This documentary addresses the question of why mankind has not come up with a solution for this problem yet.
