Reel Green™ at Creative BC is sponsoring a special screening of PLASTIC PEOPLE in partnership with Surfrider Foundation Canada. Directed by Ben Addelman alongside author and science journalist Ziya Tong, the award-winning documentary investigates the growing threat of microplastics on human health. 

PLASTIC PEOPLE urges its viewers to rethink our relationship with plastic – which eventually breaks down into “microplastics.” These microscopic particles drift in the air, float in all bodies of water, and mix into the soil, becoming a permanent part of the environment. 

This is the second Reel Green™ Screening Series event of 2025, showcasing Canadian filmmakers who are leading the way in telling impactful environmental sustainability stories on screen. The event is focused on bringing community and industry together to learn and connect through narrative and factual content formats to further conversations and help alter the trajectory of the emergency at hand.   

Following the screening there will be a panel discussion featuring; Matt Dwyer, VP of Product Footprint at Patagonia; Lilly Woodbury, Regional Program Manager at Surfrider Foundation Canada; Justin Barnes, Lead, Reel Green™; and ocean health advocate Dr. Jiaying Zhao, Associate Professor at UBC.
