Filmed along the wave-lashed outer coast of Vancouver Island, this short documentary follows marine biologist Dr. Laura White and her crew as they track how plastic from around the world piles up in remote ecosystems.
The story follows a cleanup that removed four tonnes of debris across 53 kilometres of boat-access-only beaches. Much of what they recovered is upcycled into new products.
It is a call to rethink our relationship with plastic, and a reminder that the cycle can still be broken.
