Storyline
Rubber Jellyfish reveals the shocking jellyfish-like shapes that balloons burst into when they are released into the air and how sea turtles and other species mistake these items for food. We also explore the balloon industry greenwashing that kept this phenomenon a secret for decades.
We all know that throwing rubbish on the ground is littering, so why is letting a balloon float away seen as something different? Rubber Jellyfish is a feature-length documentary that explores the effects of helium balloons on the environment, wildlife and human beings. Mum-to-be Carly Wilson sets out on a personal journey to meet key players on all sides in the fight to ban balloons, and exposes the confronting truth behind our favourite party product. Her journey takes her from littered beaches to the capital, as she speaks to activists, businesses, and politicians to find out why the balloon problem is being ignored and if something can be done.
