Re/F/use (Refused to Reuse)

About This Movie

Re/F/use dives into a rather heavy subject, the ocean plastic crisis, with a lens focused on a small but impactful solution from the Philippines. The documentary feels raw, almost journalistic, and it unfolds at a pace that lets you absorb the gravity of the situation. The atmosphere is both grim and hopeful, as it spotlights Envirotech Recycling Inc. in Davao City, showcasing how they transform single-use plastics into functional school chairs. There’s something striking about seeing the contrast between the waste and the final product. It’s not just another environmental doc; it’s a story of innovation amidst adversity, solid performances from the locals who share their narratives, and a practical approach that sticks with you long after the credits roll.
