  • Film Screening: Plastic People


    Wed, Oct 8 2025

    Hemmingson Auditorium
    702 E. Desmet Ave, Spokane


    The award-winning feature documentary Plastic People investigates our addiction to plastic and the growing threat of microplastics on human health. Almost every bit of plastic ever made breaks down into “microplastics.” These microscopic particles drift in the air, float in all bodies of water, and mix into the soil, becoming a permanent part of the environment.

    Don’t Miss this one!
