The award-winning feature documentary Plastic People investigates our addiction to plastic and the growing threat of microplastics on human health … Now, leading scientists are finding these particles in our bodies: organs, blood, brain tissue, and even the placentas of new mothers. What is the impact of these invisible invaders on our health? And can anything be done about it?

"Plastic People is one of those essential state-of-our-world documentaries.” - Owen Gleiberman, Variety.

The Hands Across Spokane Resource Fair is open to everyone and meant to be welcoming, inclusive, and stigma-free. Whether you are looking for resources, supporting a loved one, or simply want to stand in solidarity, this event is an opportunity to learn, connect, and take part in a community-wide commitment to mental health.
