The film is an optimistic and inspiring take on the local and global plastic pollution crisis as told through the view of a group of 5th graders in New York City. The 5th graders spent 2 years investigating plastic pollution as citizen scientists, community leaders, and advocates. With stop-motion animation, heartfelt kid commentary, and interviews of experts and renowned scientists, this alarming, yet uplifting narrative conveys an urgent message in user-friendly terms with a take-action message to spark youth-led plastic-free action in schools everywhere. The film has been accepted to 37 film festivals and received 7 awards.
