On Saturday 20 July, Cinema City will be having a film screening of X Trillion, followed by a Q&A with the film's director Eleanor Church and Dr Johanna Forster (Associate Pro-Vice-Chancellor Civic at UEA).
X Trillion follows the gruelling journey of eXXpedition’s all-women crew, led by Emily Penn, as they sail 3,000 miles across the North Pacific Ocean through the densest accumulation of ocean plastic on the planet to make the unseen, seen.
The 14-strong international crew of scientists, sailors, designers, engineers, and teachers set sail on a transformative month-long voyage. They leave families and land behind, coming together battling high seas, storms and sea sickness, to carry out cutting edge microplastics research and investigate the crisis of plastic pollution in one of the most remote places on Earth.
