X Trillion + Q&A

Friday 24 May 2024

Cinema

X Trillion is a feature documentary following the first ever all-women expedition to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in the North Pacific!

The feature debut by Eleanor Church follows the gruelling journey of eXXpedition’s all-women crew led by Emily Penn, as they sail 3,000 miles across the North Pacific Ocean through the densest accumulation of ocean plastic on the planet – in order to make the unseen, seen. 

The international crew of 14 women was made up of scientists, filmmakers, circular-economists, engineers, teachers, packaging designers and creators – but only a few were sailors.

It is a life-affirming story of adventure, discovery, science, solidarity and a call to action that burns with optimism.
