2/12/18. This is an excellent documentary that shows how plastic products are killing the environment and destroying our health. This is one movie you need to see as it does a great job of showing exactly what it is that Plastic is doing to living things and how specific chemicals are affecting our health by damaging our bodies on the molecular level. Those that sell and develop plastic products have no idea about what the poisons are that they are dealing with. It's scary, and it should scare you to watch this.

Werner Boote is the director of documentary '' Plastic Planet''. He traveled around the world to answer a simple question : plastic are dangerous for planet and human health ? Werner Boote is Austrian. His grand-father worked in big plastic company in Europe. At the start of his journey, a big boss of a big plastic industry met Werner Boote and said '' We are in The Plastic Age ''. I agree with him because all objects around us made with plastic. Then, we know that pollution is global problem, let's take an example: Oceans, with with documentary, we learn that lots of fishes die every day because of pollution. In this documentary, we travel in lots of countries in the world to discover why plastic is dangerous for human health. Let's take an example; we learn that plastic gives cancers.Anyway, I totally agree with Werner Boote; I'm convinced that Plastic is a global problem for the pollution and for human health. So, if you want to learn a bit more your world, watch this documentary. Then, it is very pleasant, musics are attractive and it is easy to understand. It is an essential documentary for all the family.

This documentary will show you through many interviews of scientists and reports that plastic, nevertheless present everywhere on the planet, is very dangerous to our health. I have found this documentary has a interesting topic and which concerns all the peoples has objects in plastic its home. It really show the danger and consequences of this material and the quantity of plastic which there are on the planet. This movie is really captivating even if, sometimes, I find the interviews too long and boring. Sometimes too, passages of this do documentary frighten scares. To conclude , I have found this movie very well and it really opens my eyes on this material... You owe see it !

I thought this movie was going to be all about plastic and how it is clogging up our environment, and in part it was, but actually it was also much more. I enjoyed the scene where they showed the desert where Lawrence from Arabia was filmed, or the one where they worked to clean the beach of Nature Island, knowing that next year they would have to come back and do the same, and of course the bit with the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, but what really surprised me was the fact that we all have plastic in our blood! I mean I know plastic is everywhere, but even inside of us! That was a surprise. The most surprising of all however, was not all the information about plastic, but how LITTLE information the plastics industry is willing to share! I understand that they want to keep their "secret recipes" safe from their competitors, but come on every bit of food I buy has a list of ingredients on it too. Even if I know all the ingredients for a cake it still doesn't mean I can bake it myself. So what is the big deal? Is there something they do not want us to know? The government has passed so many regulations to protect us from what we consume, so why is it impossible for the EU to get any such a regulations passed for the plastics industry? I mean sure we don't eat it, but we certainly do put enough of it in our mouths almost every day. Just think, how many plastic bottles have you drunk from in the past week? Not to mention babies and baby bottles and pacifiers… What is all this plastic doing to our children, and why can't we as the consumers even find out what it is we are consuming? I think this film does its job well and succeeds in doing exactly what I would expect from this type of documentary. It has opened my eyes and motivated me to start asking more questions. Who knows, if enough of us start asking we might get some answers and even bring about a change! If you have not seen this film yet, then you should!
