Newcastle film on Pacific plastic crisis screens at Tower Cinemas this weekend
Rollingball Productions made a documentary called Plastic Tsunami. It premiered in Fiji. It launches Saturday at Tower Cinemas.
A Newcastle film company spent two years making this documentary about plastic pollution across the Pacific. The film is called Plastic Tsunami, Voices of the Pacific.
The film follows island communities and Australian First Nations people dealing with plastic on their shores. Plastic harms their culture and health.
The crew filmed in Fiji, Palau, Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea and far north Queensland. The film shows efforts toward a Global Plastics Treaty.
The crew attended negotiations in South Korea and Switzerland. It premiered early in Fiji during pre-COP talks this month, before Saturday's Newcastle release.
The weekend screening includes a Welcome to Country, the 53-minute film and a filmmaker Q&A. Sunday brings a community cleanup walk along Horseshoe Beach.
