Albatross

The documentary film Albatross is a stark reminder what our pollution is doing to the natural environment. An American filmmaker and photographer Chris Jordan created a moving piece about the life of the albatross species and we see directly what our plastic waste is doing.

One interesting comment that was made was that the species has no natural predators however it now seems that we are an indirect predator by the ways of our waste. By seeing the life journey of an albatross I felt more involved and therefore more responsible. With more people seeing this it may be the cry for action that is needed.
