Join us on October 20th at 7:00 PM

 

Please join your friends, neighbors, and W.A.T.E.R. for a screening of the award-winning documentary,
“Plastic People, the Hidden Crisis of Microplastics,”
at the Mt. Shasta Library, October 20th, 2025 at 7:00 pm.

 

“Plastic People, the Hidden Crisis of Microplastics” investigates society’s 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 bodies: organs, blood, brain tissue, and even the placentas of new mothers. What is the impact of these invisible invaders on our health? And can anything be done about it?

 

Acclaimed author and science journalist Ziya Tong takes a personal approach by visiting leading scientists around the world and undergoing experiments in her home, on her food, and her body while collaborating with award-winning director Ben Addelman in an urgent call to action for all of us to rethink our relationship with plastic.

 

Discussion will follow the screening.  

 

Please share this invitation with others!

 

The Mt. Shasta Library is located at 515 East Alma Street in Mt Shasta, CA.  Doors will open at 6:45pm.
