Drowning in Plastic - BBC1
Drowning in Plastic is a new one-off documentary presented by Liz Bonnin who travels the globe to witness the damage we are wreaking in our oceans
Plastic is choking our oceans.
It’s strangling seals, filling the stomachs of seabirds, entangling whales and killing coral – virtually everything that is beautiful and natural.
The brilliant Liz Bonnin presents this comprehensive look at the reality of the plastic issue, travelling the globe to speak to everyone and anyone who is working towards a solution to this devastating problem.
She scoops up dying baby birds, cries as she holds the head of a tiny seal killed by plastic, and then meets the people who can make a difference.
It terrifying and overwhelming, but also heartening, because of the good work so many are doing to right this wrong.
