Under the Surface
Plastic pollution. A topic around us non-stop, whether it is on the news, radio or even social media: it is a problem that concerns all of us. It is big, and it is getting bigger year by year. That is the protagonist of our documentary: plastic. Three very interesting and inspirational Dutch people are going to show us diverse ways to make a difference with plastic in the ocean, at the beach and on land. Matthijs combs at the beach, Sander scoops it out of the sea and Suzanne turns it into something useful for daily life. All three actions are helping to reduce this huge problem in a small and easy-to-relate manner. And that is exactly what we want to reach with this documentary: inspiration among our society to help beat this problem, because together it is possible.
