The Netflix documentary film The Plastic Detox explores the many ways microplastics are affecting nature and our wellbeing, and seeks solutions to what has become an international, public health problem. It follows one scientist asking the question: if people reduce their exposure and let their bodies flush out the microplastics, can it reverse the growing global trend of infertility?

In this episode of You Can't Make This Up, host Rebecca Lavoie interviews director Louie Psihoyos.
