- In Indonesia, the ocean plays a critical role
in people's livelihoods, from their food to their careers.
But that important resource is under threat
from the overwhelming amounts of plastic.
Each year, just about 30,000 metric tons
of plastic pollution enter the country's waters.
This, combined with the plastic from the rest of the world,
washes up on the beaches, gets hooked by local fishermen
and damages marine ecosystems.
This upcoming film follows Wayan,
a 90 year old Balinese fisherman
using all of his resources and knowledge
to tackle the growing problem one net of trash at a time.
This is "Voice Above Water."
a production from Turning Tides Films.
