As the world continues to come face to face with the consequences of decades of environmental degradation, Danny Kim’s documentary ZERO WASTE explores the ways that five individuals in South Korea have taken it upon themselves to create solutions to the country’s plastic waste problems, which has been exasperated by the global pandemic, and whether their efforts can be enough to make up for decades of neglect. Both sobering and uplifting, ZERO WASTE paints a portrait of both the magnitude of the problem, and the perseverance of those people willing to address them.
