During the summer of 2020, CameraWithNoName followed and filmed the hike of The Trash Traveler along the coast of Portugal to create a documentary aiming to raise awareness about plastic pollution and to give voice to the community of NGOs, initiatives and environmentalists working in Portugal. Furthermore, it allows us to reflect on problems and solutions for local communities and share those same ideas both nationally and internationally. For example, solutions designed in the North can potentially solve problems in the South, and vice-versa. We just need to create a sharing chain.

During the 58 days of the hike, more than 300 hours and about 90 interviews were recorded that resulted in a film with more than 96 min length.

The strength of this documentary resides in its interlocutors, in people who have changed their lives and who tell us about their experiences and how individually we can make a difference.
