Over the past few weeks we’ve been exploring the many layers behind the Netflix documentary The Plastic Detox as part of our special series rollout — looking at how storytelling, science, and community come together to address the plastic pollution crisis.
First, we explored the production side — how filmmakers bring these stories to life. Then we looked at the pollution itself — the chemicals and plastics making their way into our environment and even into our bodies. Today we focus on the people.
Because behind every statistic, every study, and every headline about pollution, there are real families and real communities living with the consequences. Today we’re joined by Julie and Eric Isaac, whose story helps bring the human dimension of the plastic crisis into focus through their participation in The Plastic Detox, streaming on Netflix.
