Join us for a special screening of Plastic Paradise: The Great Pacific Garbage Patch - a film uncovering the truth behind the mystery of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch - held at Foyer Oxford at 630pm on Wednesday 13 July 2016.

Thousands of miles away from civilization, Midway Atoll is in one of the most remote places on earth. And yet its become ground zero for The Great Pacific Garbage Patch, syphoning plastics from three distant continents. In this independent documentary film, journalist/filmmaker Angela Sun travels on a personal journey of discovery to uncover this mysterious phenomenon. Along the way she meets scientists, researchers, influencers, and volunteers who shed light on the effects of our rabid plastic consumption and learns the problem is more insidious than we could have ever imagined.

Doors open at 630pm. Movie starts at 7pm. Running Time 57 minutes. 

Bring your own food and drinks, though strictly no alcohol. 

Join us for a discussion afterwards if you like!

Gold coin donation proceeds to go to the makers of the film.
