The Swiss marine research organization «Sail and Explore Association,» in collaboration with Kino Riffraff, presents the documentary «X Trillion».

«X Trillion» is a film following the renowned all-women «eXXpedition North Pacific» to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. The feature debut by Eleanor Church follows the gruelling journey of eXXpedition’s all-women crew led by Emily Penn, as they sail 3,000 miles across the North Pacific Ocean through the densest accumulation of ocean plastic on the planet - in order to make the unseen, seen.

The 14 women international crew was made up of scientists, filmmakers, circular-economists, engineers, teachers, packaging designers and creators - but very few were sailors. It is a life-affirming story of adventure, discovery, science, solidarity and a call to action that burns with optimism.

Following the screening, a Q&A session about the film and the plastic pollution issue will take place with national and international experts.
