Shocking, Heart-Wrenching, Important
Angela Sun brings us a film that might just change your life. The films focus – Man’s most destructive invention. Plastic. Plastic. Oh my god, plastic… Plastic is the only substance known to man that never goes away. Think of every piece of plastic you’ve ever touched, from the toys you played with as children to the coffee lids you use every day. You threw them out, as I did, without a care in the world, not knowing that they’re still out there and they’re destroying our world. Millions of sea creatures die each year from the billions of tons of plastic in the ocean. And the rate of plastic production is INCREASING.

I beg you, if you have not already seen this movie, please watch it. It’s well made, and worthwhile in every sense of the word. It will make your blood boil and head spin. I give this wonderfully made, terribly saddening, illuminating work 10 stars, and if I could give it 11 I would. It changed my life.

An effective and engaging film!
The invention of plastic at first brought convenience for people in consumer countries. It provided us with disposable tools and miscellaneous items that were cheap to replace and easily thrown away. What we failed to realize was that it is a material that does not degrade and continues to pollute the environment in which we rely on to survive. Our ecosystem suffers from the use of plastic and in the documentary ,Plastic Paradise: The Great Pacific Garbage Patch, journalist Angela Sun conducts first-hand research unearthing the damage its usage is causing. The film opens up with a brief history of the invention of plastic and how it has transformed the way we live. Angela Sun and her crew travel to Midway Atoll where thousands of pounds of plastic garbage has been collecting and harming the large population of albatross on the island. This leads to how the plastic debris affects the Midway environment. Sun points out that the plastic debris collects on the island because the network of rotating ocean currents pushes the debris to certain areas. She compares the islands to a comb because the high islands end up catching all the plastic wastes. Thousands of pounds of plastic debris wash up on Midway’s shores. It comes from all places of the world and all sorts of garbage coming from the big populations of the world. The documentary shows all the chemically adsorbed plastic ingested by the albatross and even the fish we eat. The plastic also harms the coral reef species mainly from abandoned nylon fish nets. The fish nets are similar to a tumbleweed as it moves across the ocean while breaking off and collecting coral reefs. The documentary mentions how important coral reef life is and how it greatly impacts humans. Angela Sun also referenced a UN study that estimated that there were 640,000 tons of discarded fish nets in the oceans worldwide. A major adversary in the documentary is BPA. Even though in the late 1930’s BPA was discovered and used as birth control, BPA is now used as a building block for resins and plastics. BPA is everywhere and we are constantly getting exposed to it despite the harmful effects like neurological problems and cancer. The film also further elaborates on how the persistent organic pollutant is dangerous. Sun also attempts to get information from big corporations in the plastic industry. Dow Chemical, Dupont, Exxon Mobil, and the American Chemistry Council are all mentioned in the film to have downplayed the harmful effects of plastic. Sun compares the plastic industry to the tobacco industry in the ways they manipulate information and delay its regulations. There have been significant gains in the movement such as over 70 U.S cities and communities in 44 countries have banned single use plastic bags. As the film comes to a close, Sun tells us that the amount of plastic in the world will quadruple by the end of 2050. There has to be a positive change in the plastic industry to see a major difference in the decrease of plastic pollution.
