About the Film

X Trillion 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 to make the unseen, seen. The 14-strong international crew of scientists, sailors, designers, engineers, and teachers set sail on a transformative month-long voyage. They leave families and land behind, coming together to battle high seas, storms, and seasickness, to conduct cutting-edge microplastics research and investigate the crisis of plastic pollution in one of the most remote places on Earth.

In a practical and emotional response to one of the biggest global challenges of our time, this story of hope is filled with life, magic, and a call to action that burns with optimism.

Director, Eleanor Church: 

“We were a crew of women with different skills, goals and motivations, brought together to witness and record the true extent of the plastic pollution crisis – with a focus on micro plastics and their toxic impact on female bodies in particular. We all emerged transformed by the experience and are committed to telling the story of what we witnessed and working to find solutions.

“The film is about this global crisis, but more than that it highlights the crucial role women play in helping to change systems and find solutions to the big problems facing humanity.”
