Trashed

Jeremy Irons takes the lead in Trashed (2012), an environmental documentary you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Candida Brady.

The film follows Irons across the globe — Iceland, Lebanon, Indonesia, France — visiting landfills, incineration sites and polluted coastlines to map what humanity's waste does to land, water and the food chain. Scientists, policymakers and ordinary people who live beside dumps or fish contaminated waters speak plainly about what they have already lost. Screened at Cannes 2012, the film is clear-eyed about the damage it shows, but its final section shifts register: communities that have built working recycling economies and zero-waste systems get real screen time, not just a footnote.
