Microplastic Madness Film Screening and Q&A

Seven Generations will be hosting a free screening of the award-winning film Microplastic Madness, followed by a Q&A with the film’s co-directors and the Shedd Aquarium’s director of  conservation. It’s a wonderful film that will inform and inspire both children and adults.

Microplastic Madness is an optimistic take on the local and global plastic pollution crisis as told through a youth point of view. Fifth graders from PS 15 in Red Hook, Brooklyn – a community on the frontline of climate change – spent 2 years investigating plastic pollution. Taking on the roles of citizen scientists, they collect data, lead community outreach, and testify and rally at City Hall. They organize a Plastic Free Lunch Day at their school. Over the course of the film, the students dive deep into the root causes of plastic pollution, bridging the connection between plastic, climate change, and environmental justice.

There will be two windows of time to view the 76-minute film:

• Friday, July 17 between 12-10 pm
• Saturday, July 18 between 10 am-4 pm

The Q&A will take place on July 18 from 5:30-6:15 pm.
