We’re All Plastic People Now

On September 24th, 2024 we co-sponsored a screening and post film discussion of the documentary “We’re All Plastic People Now” with our friends at the PEG Center and The Screening Room.

Taking a personal approach to an issue affecting us all, director Rory Fielding tests his own blood, along with four generations of his family, for chemicals derived from plastic. The results are alarming. Today, plastic not only surrounds is, it’s in us. It’s in the air. It’s in the water. It’s been found inside our colons, our brains, our hearts, in breast milk, and in developing embryos. The era of throw-away ease, it seems, has cost us our well-being. Featuring scientists and activists who are sounding the alarm about the issue, Fielding’s Emmy Award winning film explores how plastics enter the food web and advocates for public buy-in to affect change.
