14 Women. 3,000 Nautical Miles. X Trillion Pieces of Plastic

– Feature Documentary Follows Pioneering All-Women Expedition to Great Pacific Garbage Patch –

X Trillion – a film following the renowned all-women ‘eXXpedition North Pacific’ to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch – premieres on 1 May 2024 at Curzon Soho, in London. 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.
