PLASTIC RIVER

We teamed up with our friends at Make a Change World to help them create the animated sequences for their first long-form documentary project PLASTIC RIVER. On August 14 2017, Gary and Sam set out to kayak down the world’s most polluted river, the Citarum located in Indonesia, to document and raise awareness about the highly toxic chemicals in its waters and the masses of plastics floating on its surface. Throughout the expedition, they released videos documenting their journey and spotlighted community-based initiatives and individuals who work tirelessly towards restoring the river.  Their campaign videos went viral with millions of views which reached as far as the Indonesian Ministry of the Environment and Indonesian President Joko Widodo who committed to an emergency clean up of the river and announced a 7- year full rehabilitation plan of the Citarum.

We believe PLASTIC RIVER is an impactful grass roots film that inspires positive change. This is why we supported the project and look forward to seeing it multiply into more activist environmental actions! More info and the full documentary will be available soon, in the meantime check out this viral short, seen by nearly 5 million people to see what the story is all about:
