What Do You Know About the Ocean Clean Up? is an informational short film by Tiffani Stitz about The Ocean Cleanup. The Ocean Cleanup is a nonprofit environmental engineering organization based in the Netherlands that aims to reduce the amount of plastic in the ocean by 90% by 2040. What Do You Know About the Ocean Clean Up? explains these goals, the organization’s tests and development, and the successful deployment of their multilevel trawl.The video is straightforward and effective. The voiceover is nice, though I wish every line had been read aloud, as some are left unspoken. The sudden break in the audio comes across as a little awkward. The visuals could also have expanded on the commentary more than they did. We only see photos of whatever the commentary is discussing some of the time, missing opportunities like showing us the face of The Ocean Cleanup’s founder. However, these problems are minimal. What Do You Know About the Ocean Clean Up? is a simple introduction to an important organization that people should be aware of and supporting. I give the film four out of five stars.
