The Story of Plastic Movie Just Mercy Movie

Sept. 17 - The Story of Plastic online viewing and panel discussion...
Go to The Story of Plastic webpage for links and information.

Please Note: The 1.5 hour movie should be watched prior to the Sept. 17 panel discussion.

"THE STORY OF PLASTIC takes a sweeping look at the man-made crisis of plastic pollution and the worldwide effect it has on the health of our planet and the people who inhabit it. Spanning three continents, the film illustrates the ongoing catastrophe: fields full of garbage, veritable mountains of trash, rivers and seas clogged with waste, and skies choked with the poisonous emissions from plastic production and processing."

"THE STORY OF PLASTIC features interviews with experts and activists on the front lines of the fight, revealing the disastrous consequences of the flood of plastic smothering ecosystems and poisoning communities around the world, and the global movement that is rising up in response. With engaging original animation, archival industry footage beginning in the 1930s, and first-person accounts of the unfolding emergency, the film distills a complex problem that is increasingly affecting the planet's and its residents' well-being."

Sept. 25 - Just Mercy at KSU Union, Forum Hall , seating is limited

"We believe in the power of story.
Our film Just Mercy, based on the life work of civil rights attorney Bryan Stevenson, is one resource we can humbly offer to those who are interested in learning more about the systemic racism that plagues our society.
To actively be part of the change our country is so desperately seeking, we encourage you to learn more about our past and the countless injustices that have led us to where we are today.
Thank you to the artists, storytellers and advocates who helped make this film happen. Watch with your family, friends and allies."
