The Story of Plastic Screening Event

The Dallas Sierra Club and Meaningful Movies Project proudly presents an exclusive, free screening of the thought-provoking documentary, The Story of Plastic by Deia Schlosberg. Mark your calendars for Monday, March 31st, at 7:00 pm CT, as we embark on a journey towards positive societal change. This screening is not just a film—it’s a call to action.

The Story of Plastic is a searing exposé revealing the ugly truth behind plastic pollution and the false solution of plastic recycling. Different from every other plastic documentary you’ve seen, The Story of Plastic presents a cohesive timeline of how we got to our current global plastic pollution crisis and how the oil and gas industry has successfully manipulated the narrative around it. From the extraction of fossil fuels and plastic disposal to the global resistance fighting back, The Story of Plastic is a life-changing, Emmy-winning film depicting one of the world’s most pressing environmental issues.

There will be a discussion following the screening with the film's producer Elisa Ringholm.
