- STRAWS (32 minutes/2017) has been lauded as one of “the 5 documentaries to make you rethink single-use plastic.” and an "Inspiring story of how it's possible to make a sea of change, one straw at a time."
Sequences narrated by Tim Robbins chart the history of straws from gold in Mesopotamia to our current disposable convenience consumption of billions of non-recyclable plastic straws every day. STRAWS are one of the single-use items contributing to landfills and the estimated 8.5 million metric tons of plastic waste entering seas annually, taking decades to hundreds of years to break down to microscopic levels now pervasive in bottled and tap water, soils, and even the air we’re breathing.
Used by communities, non-profits and learning institutions globally, now STRAWS can be watched at home. At only 30 minutes length, it's a great film to inspire people to get involved and make a difference.
