- Synopsis
In 1907, chemist Leo Baekeland changed the world forever. History and Science come alive in this provocative film about the first plastic and its inventor. Re-enactments, archival images, interviews with experts and satirical songs capture both the wonder and curse of plastic. The film celebrates Baekeland’s genius, Bakelite and other plastics; and confronts plastic pollution. Bold, honest, funny.
