MIDWAY a Message from the Gyre : a short film by Chris Jordan from Midway on Vimeo.
Photographer Chris Jordan is working on a project that reveals the realities of pollution. Midway is a remote island located in the middle of the pacific ocean where garbage from the ocean collects. Midway is also home to a large population of birds. These birds consume the garbage and feed it to their young which leads to their death. Jordan is documenting the island over a span of several years to show the real threat of pollution. In his photo series you can see the trash in the stomachs of the decomposing birds. The way the trash gets there is from being thrown into the ocean by people. You can see bottle caps, toothpics, golf balls, and various pieces of plastic. You can make a contribution to the project by visiting Midway Project.
