The top 5 biggest plastic polluting nations on the planet are in South East Asia. With this in mind, film maker Jamie Lepre and environmental activist Paul Hellier embarked on an epic 5 week bicycle ride across Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand. The result is an insightful and visually stunning documentary which not only highlights the tragic scale of this environmental catastrophe but celebrates this unique part of the globe and more so promotes the inspiring efforts of everyday locals who battle bureaucracy, apathy and indifference to educate others and push back against a burgeoning plastic tide. They are like us, they recognise there is too much plastic in our lives and they are coming up with all sorts of mechanisms to clean up the environment and reduce the need for single-use plastic in their region. It gives up to us all that things are happening. Paul and Jamie also attempt to travel responsibly, avoiding single-use plastic as they go. Even with the language and cultural barriers.
