Reversing the plastic tide
The film exposes the problem of marine debris in the Argentinean Sea. It shows how a deficient management of fishing waste and the lack of regulation puts the southern right whale and a highly relevant marine ecosystem at risk.
A sharp piece that raises the voice of a group of scientists, environmentalists, fishermen, recyclers and officials who working together try to prevent a greater environmental disaster. Urging the different sectors involved to unite and act before it is too late.

JULIETA ALMADA has been a documentary filmmaker, producer and storyteller for over 25 years. She specializes in environmental and conservation issues, as well as socio-cultural issues. Much of her work consists of collaborating with different organizations to bring visibility and provoke action to the urgent needs of preserving ecosystems and reversing plastic marine debris.
Her latest short documentary ¨Revirtiendo la marea plástica¨ shows his clear commitment to bring people closer to nature as a tool for action, change and survival.
Within her filmography we can find TV series about Conservation and Eco-tourism "Entre la tierra y el mar", "Oficios", "Estaciones" and "comidas típicas" for the Argentinian cultural channel, Canal Encuentro. Other short documentaries on conservation, recycling and social aid.
I am convinced that acting and speaking out against the inaction of the problem of plastic marine debris in our oceans is part of the solution, especially because there are many of us who are willing to shout louder and louder!
