We're All Plastic People Now

On Thursday, May 2 at 6:00 pm, the Rehoboth Beach Film Society (RBFS) in partnership with Oceana and DE local organizations, MERR Institute and Plastic Free Delaware will present a relevant and timely (FREE) screening of the compelling documentary We’re All Plastic People Now. An encore (FREE) screening is confirmed for Saturday, May 4 at 2:00 pm. We’re All Plastic People Now is an Emmy Award winning documentary introduced by Actor and environmentalist Ted Danson. Featured at the 2024 Santa Fe Film Festival, the documentary gives rise to an era of throw-away ease. For all the marvelous applications and uses of plastic, the convenience has cost humans’ their well-being. Micro plastics is found in the air, waterways, soil and now, inside our bodies -- in our colons, our brains, breast milk and developing wombs. Scientists around the country are sounding the alarm, but without public buy-in, there is little that will be done. How much evidence do we need before we decide to take action? This groundbreaking documentary, for the first time ever, tests the producer’s blood and four generations of family members for chemicals derived from plastic. Witness the results, which are alarming, But there is hope and without it, we cannot resolve the problem!
