Grab a seat, some popcorn, and get ready to learn something that might just change how you look at everyday plastic.Join us for a free community screening of the documentary Plastic People: The Hidden Crisis of Microplastics, presented with our friends at West Central Initiative. The film starts at 6pm, followed by a short, facilitated conversation where we can share reactions and questions. West Central Initiative is bringing the popcorn, and you’re welcome to bring your own beverage of choice.
Plastic People digs into our world’s love affair with plastic and what happens after it breaks down into tiny particles called microplastics. Spoiler alert: they don’t just disappear. These microscopic pieces are now in our air, water, soil, and yes, inside the human body. Scientists are finding them in blood, organs, brain tissue, and even placentas. Not exactly a fun fact, but an important one.
A quick heads up: the film includes sensitive content and is not recommended for anyone under 13.
Come for the movie, stay for the conversation, and leave with a better understanding of what microplastics mean for our health and what small changes might actually matter. Big topic, friendly setting, no homework required.
