About Earth Day Screening: X Trillion
This feature debut by Eleanor Church follows the gruelling journey of eXXpedition’s all-women crew led by Emily Penn, as it follows them as they sail 3,000 miles across the North Pacific Ocean through the densest accumulation of ocean plastic on the planet - in order to make the unseen, seen.
The 14 women international crew was made up of: scientists, filmmakers, circular-economists, engineers, teachers, packaging designers and creators - but very few were sailors.
It is a life-affirming story of adventure, discovery, science, solidarity and a call to action that burns with optimism.
Director: Eleanor Church
Producer: Verity Wislocki
Running time: 1 hour 8 minutes
