Hell or Clean Water - Movie Screening & FAQ

Plasitc Oceans Canadais a nonprofit organization raising awareness about plastic pollution to inspire behavioral change. More than 300 million tons of plastic are produced annually, yet more than 90% of all plastic is recycled. At least eight million tons of plastic are dumped into the ocean each year—equal to a garbage truck per minute. Studies find plastic pollutes the air, water and entire food chain, threatening human health, wildlife and the planet. Through solutions-focused films and digital content, Plastic Oceans promotes a global movement to rethink plastic.

Plastic Oceans Canada

Join Plastic Oceans Canada for a screening of award winning film, Hell or Clean Water produced in association with Documentary Channel.

<p>A former fisherman who just 10 years earlier thought nothing of tossing garbage out of his truck window, Shawn Bath has an epiphany when he starts diving the harbours of his native Newfoundland. While hunting for sea urchins, he finds ocean floors covered with debris – truck tires, boat parts, fishing equipment, ghost nets and “disposable” plastics of every description. Realization quickly turns to obsession, as Shawn quits his day job and dedicates himself to cleaning up the rotting mess. He begins single-handedly hauling out thousands of pounds of tires and countless bags of trash. With no help from the government and only meagre online donations, he soon finds himself with less than $10 in his bank account, creditors calling daily and a stressed relationship with a supportive but very concerned girlfriend. But in the face of all this, the one thing that Shawn Bath never loses is hope, and that’s what makes it possible for one man to start something that just might change the world.</p>
