newportFILM -  The Story Of Plastic

Monday, November 25, 2019
6:30 pm
Casino Theatre

The Story of Plastic is a seething expose, uncovering 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. This film introduces audiences to the heroes and the villains behind one of the world's most pressing environmental issues, from the extraction of fossil fuels to plastic disposal and the global resistance fighting back.

6:30 PM: Film followed by Q&A with executive producer and waste & plastic pollution expert Stiv Wilson
