Plastic pollution is one of the gravest threats facing our oceans today. In just 15 years, the amount of plastic in the sea is projected to double—and by 2050, it could outweigh all marine life combined. How do we prevent this future?

Directed and produced by Georgia Scott and narrated by Woody Harrelson, KULEANA takes audiences on a visually stunning journey into the heart of this crisis, using Hawai‘i—one of the most remote and ecologically fragile places on Earth—as its lens. Former Major League Baseball player Chris Dickerson, founder of Players for the Planet, joins world-class athletes including Kolten Wong, Kai Lenny, Kimi Werner, and Mike Coots in dialogue with leading scientists and NGOs. Together, they illuminate both the staggering beauty of Hawai‘i and the urgent need to protect its vulnerable ecosystems, showing how sport and stewardship can inspire action for our planet’s future.
