Garbage Island: An Ocean Full of Plastic

Garbage Island sails into the North Pacific Gyre, the swirling collecting point for the ocean's plastic and the fabled Great Pacific Garbage Patch. The VICE documentary investigates the reality behind the myth of a floating island of trash, examining the true scale of ocean plastic pollution. It follows the currents that churn our waste far from land. Sobering and eye-opening, it is a stark look at the mess humanity leaves in the sea. Free to stream in 4K on Dr Documentary.
