Event Details
"Plastic Paradise: The Great Pacific Garbage Patch,” is the multiple award-winning independent documentary that chronicles Angela Sun's personal journey of discovery to one of the most remote places on Earth, Midway Atoll, to uncover the truth behind the mystery of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Along the way, she encounters scientists, celebrities, legislators and activists who shed light on what our society's vast consumption of disposable plastic is doing to our oceans – and what it may be doing to our health.
Following the film, panelists Anne Marie Moquin of Beaches Go Green, Jen Lombark of Matanzas Riverkeeper, and Cat Eastman of the Whitney Lab will take questions from the audience about issues surrounding plastics in the ocean.
Film screening is free and open to the public with free parking at St. Augustine Amphitheatre.
Concessions and a food truck will be available.
Distanced seating will be on a first come, first seated basis and masks will be required unless seated.
