This community screening of the feature-length documentary, The Story of Plastic, is a searing exposé revealing 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. From the extraction of fossil fuels and plastic disposal to the global resistance fighting back, The Story of Plastic is a life-changing, Emmy-winning film depicting one of the world’s most pressing environmental issues.
There will be a Q&A session after the film with Steve Hynd, Policy Manager for City to Sea and Stroud District Councillor for the Greens, and Claudi Williams from Action on Plastic, author of 'Small Steps to Less Waste'.
