Note about Short Version "The shorter version uses a third-person perspective on plastic, without the filmmaker acting as tour guide. The shorter version also excludes the chapter on toxic ingredients in plastic because the section was the easiest to cut as it veered away from the disposability issue of plastic waste. Issues of marine debris, recycling, and bioplastics remain identical to the longer version." Ian Connacher, filmmaker [...] US Release Date: 2008

To answer the question about disposal, Connacher visits such disturbing places as the oceanic garbage patch that sits within the swirling North Pacific Gyre where there is currently more plastic than plankton per square mile. He also goes on a tour of a highly toxic dump in India, located in a village where the average lifespan is 30 years old.
