An in-depth documentary tracing the global life cycle of plastic—from production to disposal—The Story of Plastic examines how corporate power, political decisions, and consumer culture sustain a system of single-use plastics. Through interviews with scientists, policymakers, and activists, the film reveals health and environmental impacts, and the true cost to communities and ecosystems. It also profiles grassroots campaigns and policy proposals offering paths toward reducing plastic waste and rethinking consumption.
