STRAWS is an award-winning short documentary seen in over 20 film festivals in six countries since its April premiere. Used once and tossed, billions of plastic straws wind up in landfills and streets finding their way to oceans. Actor/Director Tim Robbins narrates the history and story of STRAWS, and marine researchers, citizen activists, and business owners discuss how it’s possible to make a sea of change, one straw at a time.
“A small spark to a much larger agenda of keeping our planet clean… a perfect blend of educational and entertaining.”
