The award-winning feature documentary Plastic People investigates our addiction to plastic and the growing threat of microplastics on human health. Almost every bit of plastic ever made breaks down into “microplastics.” These microscopic particles drift in the air, float in all bodies of water, and mix into the soil, becoming a permanent part of the environment.

Now, leading scientists are finding these particles in our bodies: organs, blood, brain tissue, and even the placentas of new mothers. What is the impact of these invisible invaders on our health? And can anything be done about it?

Stay for our post-film discussion featuring special guest Heather Trim, Executive Director of Zero Waste Washington. She will share insights and offer ideas for reducing microplastics. Enjoy treats from our Intermission Sponsor: Mighty-O’s Donuts.
