Pacific Mission: Plastic Odyssey doc screening & Q+A with a scientist
Join for the Netherlands premiere of the Plastic Odyssey film Pacific Mission, and expect an intimate evening of film, conversation and inspiration.
Directed by Pierre De Parscau and produced by Les Gens Bien Production & Plastic Odyssey, Pacific Mission follows the unprecedented challenge undertaken by the Plastic Odyssey crew in the heart of the Pacific Ocean: to extract and recycle over 10 metric tons (22,000 pounds) of plastic waste piled up along the shores of Henderson Island, a remote 15-square-mile atoll holding the unfortunate record for the highest density of plastic debris in the world. This “impossible mission” is a race to protect nature, raise global awareness about the plastic crisis, and empower the local Pitcairn Island communities to transform waste into building materials.
The evening will be hosted by Dr. Hanna Dijkstra, who joined the Pacific mission, is featured in the film, and will answer questions after the screening. The movie and Q&A will be in English/ English subtitled where necessary.
Your ticket includes the screening and a token for a drink at Dr. Strangelove. It can be used before/after the screening. Light snacks will be provided after the screening.
