‘Ding’ film takes trip to Great Pacific Garbage Patch
The documentary film “Plastic Paradise: The Great Pacific Garbage Patch” continues the fourth annual “Ding” Darling Wednesday Film Series on March 2, 2016, at 2:30 p.m. in the “Ding” Darling Visitor & Education Center auditorium.
Midway Atoll — located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, thousands of miles away from civilization — has become a paradise for plastic known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. This 57-minute documentary, which Al Gore called a “thoughtful new film” on Twitter, divulges the mysterious phenomenon and the insidious, long-term effects of our rabid plastic consumption on wildlife and our planet.
Seating is free, but limited and on a first-come basis.
Below are the season’s remaining scheduled films. All showings begin at 2:30 p.m. For full descriptions of the films, please visit dingdarlingsociety.org/films.
