This ground-breaking documentary investigates our addiction to plastic and the growing threat of microplastics on human health. Almost every bit of plastic ever made breaks down into “microplastics.” These microscopic particles drift in the air, float in all bodies of water, and mix into the soil, becoming a permanent part of the environment.

Now, leading scientists are finding these particles in our organs, blood, brain tissue, and even the placentas of new mothers. How do these invisible invaders affect our health? And what can we do to minimize their impact?

Science journalist Ziya Tong takes a personal approach to investigating this topic by visiting scientists around the world and undergoing experiments in her home, on her food, and on her body while collaborating with director Ben Addelman in an urgent call to action for all of us to rethink our relationship with plastic.
