Plastic Island

About This Movie

So, 'Plastic Island' is an intriguing documentary that kind of sneaks up on you with its heavy themes. You've got Gede Robi from the band Navicula, Tiza Mafira, who's this sharp lawyer, and Prigi Arisandi, a biologist who’s all about protecting rivers. They dive deep into the plastic waste issue, tracing its journey through the ecosystem and, in a rather chilling way, how it impacts human health. The pacing is contemplative, giving you time to sit with the weight of what they uncover. The atmosphere feels urgent yet grounded, and the practical effects of the waste are starkly illustrated. It’s not just about the statistics; it’s about real stories, real people. Makes you rethink your own habits, you know?
