Oceans of Plastic - The Mass Extinction
Classified as endangered, the green sea turtle is under further threat from rising sea temperatures. Imagine the heat generated by dropping five Hiroshima atomic bombs into the world's oceans every second - that is how quickly the sea is heating up due to climate change. Plastic pollution is another reason for the potential mass extinction of marine life. Studies estimate there are now 15 to 51 trillion pieces of plastic in the world's oceans. Not one square mile of surface ocean anywhere on earth is free of plastic pollution. We traverse the Philippines to witness the impact of such human activities on the Philippines green sea turtle, and the battle to save them. Award: Gold for Best Feature Documentary at the Tokyo Film Awards.
