Synopsis

Plastic is cheap and practical. We are children of the Plastic Age. Synthetics are able to remain in the ground and in waters for up to 500 years, and can harm our hormonal system due to their often-unknown additives. Did you know you’ve got plastic in your blood? In his investigative documentary, director Werner Boote shows that plastic has emerged as a global threat. He asks questions that concern all of us: Why don’t we change our consumption behavior? Why is the industry not reacting to apparent dangers? Who is held accountable for hills of garbage mounting in Deserts and Seas? Who wins in this game? And who loses?
