Curse of Immortality and Plastic Migration--Update

They are everywhere, but how much do we really know about them? These two films give new insight into the feelings and struggles of plastic bags.

1. Biography

Poignant short film explores the misfortune of eternal existence . . . of a plastic bag. Voiced by Werner Herzog. (18:33) Part of Futurestates from Independent Television Service.


If you can't see the video here, you can watch it on YouTube.

2. Documentary

This nature documentary/campaign advertisement tracks the parlous migration of this fascinating species. Narrated by Jeremy Irons. (3:59) Presented by Heal the Bay.


If you can't see the video here, you can watch it on YouTube.

Coming soon . . .

How long before other filmmakers take up the challenge and we see, perhaps, a western, a thriller, or buddy movie? Of course number 1 above has characteristics of a road movie. Plastic Bag--The Musical?

See Doc's earlier analysis of the trend toward eco-villains here (spoiler alert).
