Документальный фильм «Пластиковый океан» режиссёра Крейга Лиссона расскажет шокирующую правду о пластике. На первый взгляд, безобидная упаковка продуктов питания и других покупок становится мусором, который постепенно поглощает планету. Сегодня пластик, а точнее его микрочастицы, обнаружены практически везде, даже в арктических морских льдах. Пластик обнаруживают в бутилированной воде, в телах рыб и животных, в продуктах питания, даже в воздухе. Фильм заставляет задуматься о том, о чём говорить не принято — об участии каждого из нас в засорении нашей планеты. Каждый раз, беря лишний пакет в супермаркете, мы всё меньше и меньше оставляем шансов нашей планете на чистоту и экологичное будущее. Проблемы экологии — они уже касаются напрямую каждого из нас.

How does art survive in a time of oppression? During the Soviet rule artists who stay true to their vision are executed, sent to mental hospitals or Gulags. Their plight inspires young Igor Savitsky. He pretends to buy state-approved art but instead daringly rescues 40,000 forbidden fellow artist's works and creates a museum in the desert of Uzbekistan, far from the watchful eyes of the KGB. Though a penniless artist himself, he cajoles the cash to pay for the art from the same authorities who are banning it. Savitsky amasses an eclectic mix of Russian Avant-Garde art. But his greatest discovery is an unknown school of artists who settle in Uzbekistan after the Russian revolution of 1917, encountering a unique Islamic culture, as exotic to them as Tahiti was for Gauguin. They develop a startlingly original style, fusing European modernism with centuries-old Eastern traditions.
