Sustainable Futures and Social Responsibility at The University of Manchester are delighted to host this exclusive screening of The Plastic Warriors Documentary.
Showcasing expertise from The University’s Professor Jamie Woodward, this film explores the effect of plastic pollution on our health, lifestyle, and wildlife - and what we all can do about it. We invite our internal University colleagues and students as well as our key external partners to join this unique feature film screening, with a hosted pre-film networking reception with canapes and refreshments.
The documentary will be followed by a Q&A session with the filmmakers, Director Mike Wafer and Producer Poppy Chandler, and with featured Professor Jamie Woodward from The University of Manchester, who discovered the extent of microplastics in British Rivers.
Places are extremely limited so reserve your place now to avoid disappointment.
Documentary Overview: Has our plastic problem improved? Despite enormous public, industry and policy attention in the past 5 years, this new eye-opening feature documentary investigates the damaging effects plastic pollution is continuing to have on our health, lifestyle, and wildlife with a strong focus on the UK. The film tells the story of the Plastic Warriors - from eminent scientists, campaigners on the front line, to the innovators and designers working on solutions to solve this global crisis that politicians and governments are largely ignoring. The film takes audiences on a journey to deep sea coral reefs, basking shark hotspots and huge seabird colonies, to discover first-hand the extreme danger of the scourge of plastic that is engulfing every aspect of their lives. Plastic Warriors is an urgent reminder about the wider issues and a film that inspires action.
