The Plastic People documentary website writes that:
"Almost every bit of plastic ever made 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. Now, leading scientists are finding these particles in our bodies: organs, blood, brain tissue, and even the placentas of new mothers. What is the impact of these invisible invaders on our health? And can anything be done about it?"
Owen Gleiberman, of Variety, writes that Plastic People is " ... one of those essential state-of-our-world documentaries.”
