It’s a Plastic World is a compelling documentary that illuminates the extensive reach of plastic pollution and its detrimental effects on our planet.

 Plastic is everywhere. We need and want it and find it in places we wouldn’t expect it. A world without plastic is inconceivable. But do we know the consequences of our self-indulgent plastic consumption? This film shows various problems associated with plastic and looks at possible solutions.

During my holidays, I saw a secluded beach littered with plastic waste. I asked myself how this could be possible. Back home, I began to fathom the causes of this. The problem is that the ocean is completely polluted with plastic. A lot of plastic is washed up on beaches worldwide. This and many other bad facts led me to make my degree movie about the material plastic and its far-reaching consequences.

Collecting facts, writing a story, and drawing a storyboard took weeks. After four months of production time, the movie is finished. With two excellent speakers and nice music, I’m happy to present “It’s a plastic world.” Many NGO’s like Greenpeace, WWF, or PlasticOceans endorsed the movie and spread it, too. I’m thrilled for everyone who will spread the film.
