The Story of Plastic is a searing exposé revealing the ugly truth behind plastic pollution and the false solution of plastic recycling. Different from every other plastic documentary you’ve seen, The Story of Plastic presents a cohesive timeline of how we got to our current global plastic pollution crisis and how the oil and gas industry has successfully manipulated the narrative around it. From the extraction of fossil fuels and plastic disposal to the global resistance fighting back, The Story of Plastic is a life-changing, Emmy-winning film depicting one of the world’s most pressing environmental issues.

THERE is not a single river in England that meets legal environmental levels for safety, or that can be said to be in good health. Let that sink in for a moment – our rivers are dying in front of eyes. As this devastating documentary highlights, the Conservative government is directly responsible for the death of one of our most important natural resources, a key part of our commonwealth – and this gigantic crime against all of us is happening right now. Rivercide shows the true impact of austerity combined with simple personal and corporate greed on our natural environment. George Monbiot takes the journey down the river Wye.      Trailer

CATEURA, Paraguay --The young musicians in this story have performed around the world. They've even met European royalty. Yet they live in a garbage dump in South America! Their secret? A visionary director who has taught them to turn trash into treasure. Cateura, located on the outskirts of Asuncion in Paraguay, is a community formed around the landfill. Most people here make their living by selling plastic bottles or anything they can recycle from garbage. There is trash everywhere, and poverty and lack of education are a bad combination for the future of its inhabitants - mainly children and young people who are prone to delinquency and drugs.

But for the past six years, a light of hope has been shining in Cateura through music. It's the Recycled Orchestra. It got that name because all the instruments these kids play are made with materials found in the trash. Old water pipes become saxophones. Forks, knives, spoons and coins become the keys. Cans and bake trays are used to make violins, and percussion drums are made with X-rays and wooden pallets or trash cans.
