The Smog of the Sea

The film chronicles a journey led by marine scientist Marcus Eriksen, who invites a diverse crew of surfers, musicians, and spearfisher women to assess the fate of plastics in the oceans. They discover that the much-discussed garbage patches are not what they seem; instead of visible islands of trash, they encounter a pervasive fog of microplastics.

As the crew conducts their research, they learn that trillions of tiny plastic shards infiltrate the marine food chain, presenting a grave environmental challenge. This documentary highlights the urgent need for awareness and action regarding ocean pollution and environmentalism, making it a significant piece for those interested in ecological issues and marine conservation.
