People Should Know About This Awful Thing We Do, And Most Of Us Are Simply Unaware
While I was watching this, I really couldn't believe the wave of emotion that came over me. A film this simple, beautiful, and heartbreaking comes along so rarely — and to get its point across, we hardly need to hear a word........Joseph Lamour

MIDWAY a Message from the Gyre : a short film by Chris Jordan

          from Midway on Vimeo.

MIDWAY, a Message from the Gyre is a short film. It is a powerful visual journey into the heart of an astonishingly symbolic environmental tragedy. On one of the remotest islands on our planet, tens of thousands of baby albatrosses lie dead on the ground, their bodies filled with plastic from the Pacific Garbage Patch. Returning to the island over several years, our team is witnessing the cycles of life and death of these birds as a multi-layered metaphor for our times. With photographer Chris Jordan as our guide, we walk through the fire of horror and grief, facing the immensity of this tragedy—and our own complicity—head on. And in this process, we find an unexpected route to a transformational experience of beauty, acceptance, and understanding.
