As part of the Education & Student Experience Day themed around the University of Liverpool’s new Sustainability Strategy, join us for a private screening of 'X Trillion', a film by Lark Rise Pictures and Wislocki Films. It is open to all University of Liverpool staff and students, as well as third and public sector organisations, and businesses. The screening will be introduced by Sam Hay, the University's Waste Officer, with networking and a discussion on key themes explored in the film. Light refreshments will be provided, and a special guest speaker is still TBA.
Synopsis: 'X Trillion' follows an all-women crew, led by Emily Penn, on a 3,000-mile voyage across the North Pacific Ocean, sailing through the world’s densest ocean plastic accumulation. This diverse team of scientists, sailors, and engineers battles storms and sea sickness to conduct groundbreaking microplastics research and expose the crisis of plastic pollution. A powerful story of resilience, hope, and action, this film is a call to action that burns with optimism.
