The documentary Albatross took shape in 2008 after a discussion between Chris Jordan and his friend Manuel Maqueda about the issue of ocean plastic pollution. They studied about young albatrosses dying of indigestion after eating plastic. They recorded what they witnessed in Midway Island in the north of the Pacific Ocean. They worked for more than four hundred hours and the footages were made into a film showcasing the plight of the species. The documentary was released in 2017.
Albatross projected the devastating effect of plastic on marine ecosystems. It was found that nine in ten birds have traces of plastic debris in them. It helped in understanding the drawbacks of our lifestyle and the severity of the problem.
