Produced by the BBC, wildlife biologist Liz Bonnin visits scientists working in plastic research she works with leading marine biologists and campaigners, aiming to discover the dangers plastic poses to the future of the planet and to us as humans.
This 90 minute programme is produced over 9 months and involves research and visuals that present the current impact that plastic pollution is having on the planet. It is well researched and produced by the BBC which has high standards of production and a history of hard hitting and well researched documentaries such as Blue Planet II. This makes information from this source reliable and easy to digest for the public eye because that is what it's purpose is.
I want to use this source to cut clips from it and present them to students in the Sixth Form as part of a presentation that I aim to create and deliver in an assembly.One of the aims of my project is to use and make content that is easily accessible and has a positive impact upon the audience and this documentary does that effectively.
The main clip I want to use from this documentary is one of a seal trapped in a plastic fishing net that pollutes our oceans. I believe that, although this is a harrowing image, it will be effective at showing people the impacts that their life choices have upon the planet. In addition, the video will help me illustrate the fact that we have to be responsible for our actions and decisions; even though you didn't put the fishing gear in the oceans, you may support the industry that does every time you buy a tin of tuna. This is a hard hitting fact from an angle that people often don't think about.
