Gary Bencheghib and his Sungai Watch team confront plastic pollution on Indonesia's dirtiest rivers, wading through waste daily to prevent it from reaching the ocean. In a crucial TEDx talk, Bencheghib stresses that once plastic enters the ocean, it's too late. Recycling alone is insufficient; systemic change in product manufacturing is vital. He argues we must stop treating rivers as garbage bins and instead see them as mirrors of global consumption.

This crisis is deeply personal for Bencheghib. Raised in Indonesia, he began organizing beach cleanups at age 14 with his siblings. What started as a family initiative quickly evolved into a lifelong mission to protect waterways from plastic waste. https://www.ted.com/tedx

From Oscar-nominated filmmakers Betsy West and Oren Jacoby, "This Is Not a Drill" documents three unlikely heroes confronting the powerful fossil fuel industry amidst escalating extreme weather. Justin J. Pearson rallies a multiracial coalition against a crude oil pipeline in Memphis, Roishetta Ozane transforms personal loss into political action in Louisiana, and Sharon Wilson, a former oil insider, exposes invisible methane leaks in Texas.

Backed by John D. Rockefeller's descendants, this coalition uncovers "Big Oil’s Big Con"—an industry promoting fossil fuels while disguising the truth. This Patagonia film showcases how courage, grit, and determination can inspire grassroots victories against powerful forces.
