Plastic Planet

There’s no denying the importance of plastic in our lives; it’s pretty much everywhere. But this clued-up doc might make you question the safety of the substance when you next reach for a bottle of mineral water. Boote’s film is an excellent slice of investigative journalism livened by his own affable presence as he scours the globe interviewing prominent scientists and members of various plastic corporation giants in an effort to unearth facts about the various secret chemicals used in its production. His findings make for sobering viewing. Recommended.
