The Plastic Country (2026)

Australian youth climate champion Kal Glanznig turns the camera on himself and a network of scientists, activists, and Indigenous elders to investigate how plastic pollution permeates marine ecosystems and human bodies. The documentary travels from contaminated coastlines to laboratories studying microplastics in blood, weaving personal testimony with expert analysis.

Without prescribing a single solution, the film maps the scale of the crisis and highlights community-led resistance, framing plastic not just as waste but as a systemic threat to health and cultural survival.
