Microplastic Madness is the story of 56 fifth graders from Red Hook, Brooklyn (NYC) living on the frontline of the climate crisis whose actions on plastic pollution morph into extraordinary leadership and scalable victories.
With stop-motion animation, heartfelt kid commentary, and interviews of experts and renowned scientists researching the harmful effects of microplastics, this alarming yet charming narrative conveys an urgent message in user-friendly terms.
