Plastic. A Collective Suicide?
Scientists from all over the world are warning of the impact of plastics on human health. Every day, thousands of chemicals make their way into food and most of them have never been tested for consumption. They disrupt hormones, modify how the body functions and are the root cause of many cancers. Even so, this insidious daily poison has been the cash cow of the petrochemical industry.

This technique could be used to help dry coastal regions elsewhere in the world face the challenges of the future

We join investigative journalists, activists and researchers in South Korea, Sweden, France, Chile, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland.

However, legal requirements and consumer demands are pressuring the industry to transition to climate-neutral fuels. This documentary follows pioneers striving to revolutionize maritime transportation, ensuring profitability while protecting the climate and environment.
