<p>&nbsp;<strong>Film sparks action: from screens to shorelines.</strong></p><p>In this episode of <em>Oceanography</em>, host Clark Marchese talks with Julie Anderson, CEO and co-founder of Plastic Oceans International, about the Trees &amp; Seas Film Festival and its “participatory film activism” model. We explore how curated films connect to on-the-ground efforts in global Blue Communities, turning awareness into cleanups, tree plantings, and policy conversations. Julie traces her path from witnessing a nurdle spill to building the SEE Positive Change film library, and we dig into timely themes—microplastics, ecotourism pressures, and how environmental stress can drive migration. Hear favorites like <em>The Illusion of Abundance</em> and <em>House by the Sea</em>, and learn how storytelling done locally and shared globally reframes who has the power to make change.</p><br><p><strong>Support</strong> our science communication by joining us on <a href="https://patreon.com/PineForestMedia?utm_medium=unknown&amp;utm_source=join_link&amp;utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&amp;utm_content=copyLink" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Patreon</a> or sending us a gift on <a href="https://www.paypal.biz/pineforestmedia" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">PayPal</a></p><br><p><strong>Episode Guest</strong>.
