6.45pm –  Bag it – the Movie: ‘Is your life too plastic?‘ –  is about the obsession modern society has with plastic and plastic bags.   Fast-paced and often funny,  Bag it leads the viewer on a global investigation into the effects of plastic bags and plastic on our waterways, oceans and even our own bodies.  See http://www.bagitmovie.com/

8.15pm – End of the Line: ‘Imagine a world without fish‘ – The world’s first major documentary about the devastating effect of overfishing.
