PLASTICIZED is a film that places the viewer aboard a transatlantic expedition, as if one of the crew, revealing the unembellished evidence that the human footprint has reached every corner of the earth, even if we have not been there. Despite rumors of massive garbage islands, an immeasurable amount of plastic pollution of all sizes is floating throughout every major ocean in the world. With the numerous ghost nets of trash or larger windrows of rubbish dominating the the occasional headlines, tiny bits of plastic particulate from frail chunks is the overwhelming contaminant that is secretly infiltrating all levels of sea life like a cancer.

She's forced to confront her darkest demons in order to lick her deadly appetite, and must apply all 12 steps to her four stomachs - Branda is a cow addicted to eating plastic bags. It's easy to find humour and irony in Branda's toxic lifestyle, harder to admit that we're the ones being ridiculed.

A ascensão da humanidade é frequentemente medida pela velocidade do progresso. Mas e se o progresso for realmente um espiral invertido, em direção ao colapso? Ronald Wright, cujo best-seller, "A short history of progress" inspirou "Sobrevivendo ao Progresso", mostra como antigas civilizações foram destruídas por “armadilhas do progresso" - tecnologias atraentes e sistemas de crenças que servem as necessidades imediatas, mas não resguarda o futuro. Como a pressão sobre os recursos do mundo acelera e elites financeiras levam nações à falência, poderá nossa civilização globalmente entrelaçada escapar de uma última armadilha catastrófica do progresso? Com imagens poderosas e insights clarificadores de pensadores que examinaram nossos genes, nossos cérebros e nosso comportamento social, este réquiem ao progresso como conhecemos também representa um desafio: provar que educar os macacos não é uma má ideia evolucionária.

In this sequel to the award-winning You’ve Been Trumped, director Anthony Baxter once again follows American billionaire Donald Trump and a cast of other greedy characters who want to turn some of the Earth’s most precious places into golf courses and playgrounds for the super rich. From the historic site of Dubrovnik to the ancient sand dunes and rolling green hills of the seaside town of Balmedie, these tycoons bully local residents, influence governments, ignore local referendums and even meddle in national environmental policies to acquire their latest trophies. With in-depth interviews and Baxter’s expert storytelling, we learn just how devastating these golf courses can be to the surrounding countryside and water tables. In this funny, inspiring and at times heartbreaking David and Goliath story for the 21st century, the locals don’t give in easily. But will their fight be enough to protect their land and traditional way of life?

As we learn of the ecological crimes occurring worldwide, we also uncover the shocking truths happening on our own shorelines.

Donald is listening to a radio program that tells how to build an airplane from plastic, in a process much like baking a cake, cookies, and making toast.
