Join Greener Henley for a special screening of X Trillion, an eye-opening documentary that follows the gruelling journey of eXXpedition’s all-women crew as they sail 3,000 miles across the North Pacific Ocean through the densest accumulation of ocean plastic on the planet.

Their mission? To confront the reality of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, a massive area polluted primarily by microplastics, and 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 battling high seas, storms and sea sickness, to carry out 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 is a story of hope, filled with life, magic and a call to action that burns with optimism.

Following the film, stay for a panel discussion on tackling ocean plastic and what we can do to make a difference. 

With panel members:

• Chair – Imogen Grant Paris Olympic gold medalist in the Lightweight Women’s double sculls, and an Ambassador for the Rivers Trust. Sustainability is incredibly important to Imogen, and she is working to improve sustainability within rowing, but also more widely among sport. 
• Lynne Lambourne is a sustainability influencer and founder of Warriors on Waste a Sustainability Tribe of change-makers and concerned citizens. Lynne took part in a virtual Voyage with eXXpedition  and gained an in-depth understanding of the true impact of the plastics issue on the oceans.
