The Pearl Button Photo: Kino Lorber It was World Oceans Day on Monday - a subject we previously highlighted a few years ago, with suggestions of documentaries to stream. Since then, the focus on our environment - and particularly plastic pollution - has grown and public awareness increased, not least thanks to Richard Attenborough and Blue Planet II. Given that the oceans provide the livelihoods for three billion people on the planet and absorb about 30 per cent of the carbon dioxide we produce, that's just as well. The Un this year called on world leaders to protect 30 per cent of our blue planet by 2030 (you can sign the petition here. We thought we'd take another dive into films which touch on ocean themes - both factual and fictional - for this week's Streaming Spotlight.

Exclusive: Discovery Channel will air award-winning documentary The Story of Plastic in honor of Earth Day. An official selection of Mill Valley Film Festival (Audience Award winner) and 2019 Doc NYC, The Story of Plastic looks at the man-made crisis of plastic pollution and the worldwide effect it has on the health of our planet and the people that inhabit it.
Spanning three continents, the film illustrates the ongoing catastrophe: fields full of garbage, veritable mountains of trash; rivers and seas clogged with waste; and skies choked with the poisonous emissions from plastic production and processing. The film features interviews with experts and activists on the frontlines of the fight, revealing the disastrous consequences of the flood of plastic smothering ecosystems and poisoning communities around the world –and the global movement rising up in response. With original animation, archival industry footage starting in the 1930s and first-person accounts, the film distills...
