Almost every piece of plastic ever produced eventually breaks down into non-degradable microplastics. These particles are found not only in the air, water, and soil, but also in the human body: in organs, brain tissue, and even mothers' placentas.

Canadian science journalist Ziya Tong sets out to understand how deeply microplastics have permeated our lives and what they do to our bodies.

Many people are aware of the problem of the plastic glut. "But now," says Ziya Tong, "there's a health crisis because plastic is entering the human body." Featuring insights from researchers around the world, this film is a powerful call to action.
