Beraza, Suzan. Bag It—Is your Life too Plastic? Telluride: Reelthing Films, 2010. HDV, 78 min. https://youtu.be/MRjPkl_4lmM.
Try going a day without plastic. Plastic is everywhere and infiltrates our lives in unimaginable and frightening ways. In this touching and often flat-out-funny film, we follow “everyman” Jeb Berrier, who is admittedly not a tree hugger, as he embarks on a global tour to unravel the complexities of our plastic world. What starts as a film about plastic bags evolves into a wholesale investigation into plastic and its effect on our waterways, oceans, and even our own bodies. We see how our crazy-for-plastic world has finally caught up to us and what we can do about it. Today. Right now. (Source: Reel Thing Productions)
