Environmental problems seem abstract in our everyday lives. The cap of the toothpaste I used only twenty minutes ago seems like just a cap, but eventually it could become a death sentence for an albatross.

See how in the trailer of the eye-opening, devastating film Midway:

MIDWAY a Message from the Gyre : a short film by Chris Jordan from Midway on Vimeo.

Films such as Midway bring home to us the connections between the immediate context of our everyday lives and the results out there in the world that we really don’t want to see. In doing so they empower us to head toward a world that’s healthier for us and other creatures.
