Story of Stuff : A Film Premiere
The Story of Plastic is a searing exposé revealing the ugly truth behind plastic and how the oil and gas industry has successfully manipulated the narrative around it. Our screening with support from Annie Leonard and Cara Delevingne brought this eye-opening and vital documentary to audiences across the world.
From the extraction of fossil fuels and plastic disposal to the global resistance fighting back, The Story of Plastic is a life-changing film depicting one of the world’s most pressing environmental issues.
In April 2020, in partnership with The Story of Stuff Project, EcoResolution hosted an online, premiere screening of The Story of Plastic.
The first feature-length documentary from Story of Stuff, The Story of Plastic is a searing exposé revealing the ugly truth behind plastic pollution and the false solution of plastic recycling. With footage, interviews, animations and exposures from across our world, 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.
Our free, online screening with support from Annie Leonard and Cara Delevingne brought this eye-opening and vital documentary to audiences across the world. We also accompanied this screening with online quizzes, an interactive social media campaign, and the opportunity to ask questions with Annie herself.

More about Story of Stuff:
In 2007, Annie Leonard released a groundbreaking online documentary, The Story of Stuff, which unleashed a torrent of pent-up demand for honest conversation about our consumption-crazed culture. From this film blossomed The Story of Stuff Project. Their work focuses on the big, exciting innovations driving the environmental and social change we need, as well as the little things individuals and communities can do to make a difference. They believe that dramatically increasing civic participation — not just refining our consumer choices — is the key to unlocking the profound challenges we face related to waste and consumerism. Their campaigns provide diverse, engaging opportunities for Community members to get involved, from the global level down to where they live and work.
