This controversial, hard-hitting documentary tells the story of plastic pollution inside the oceans rising to a frightening level for human safety. Without urgent action, the horrid momentum will worsen dramatically, and so, solutions are embedded in this highly environmentally conscious work.
The dynamic, which impacts all of our oceans, affects the world economy and undermines healthcare because our food chain is being poisoned in an unprecedented fashion.
Oceanographers, scientists, and experts such as Capt. Moore (Algalita Marine Research Institute), Anna Cummins (5 Gyres Institute), Dr. Andrea Neal (Blue Ocean Sciences), Mary Crowley (Ocean Voyage Institute - Project Kaisei) and many others share their experiences and research in this singular cinematic achievement.

"Filmmakers Philippe Carillo Bring the Garbage of the World to the Forefront in New Documentary. Following in the footsteps of “An Inconvenient Truth,” “The Cove” and other documentaries that draw attention to human impact on the world's oceans, Southern Californian’s Philippe Carillo shows the world where garbage really goes when it gets tossed in his new film, ‘Inside the Garbage of the World’."

"The truth about plastic has been revealed in an outstanding documentary produced and directed by filmmaker Philippe Carillo. The controversial, hard-hitting documentary, Inside the Garbage of the World, tells the story about plastic pollution inside the oceans rising to a frightening level to human safety. Without urgent action the horrid momentum will worsen dramatically, and so, solutions are embedded in this highly environmentally conscious work."

"Unlike other filmmakers who are mostly driven by the art of making films, Philippe Carillo turned to film as the single most powerful medium to get his message across to the world. His award winning documentary, "Inside the Garbage of the World," produced by himself, is an informative, in-depth look at the plastic pollution posing a serious threat to our oceans and to our very existence. With his directorial debut generating a tidal wave of interest, Carillo is already with working on other new projects with equally powerful messages."
