"It's Everybody's Ocean" synopsis:
This documentary tells the story of how marine debris is affecting the people of Ikema, a tiny and beautiful island of the Miyako Islands. Known for its stunning coral reefs, the island's once pristine beaches now play host to tons of plastic marine debris, originating from all over Asia, polluting their beaches and threatening the lives of marine species. This is the story of a small island's struggle with plastic pollution.
Wine, soda and light bites will be served. All materials from the event will be collected for recycling and food scraps will be composted.
