84 year-old Jean Hill is a concerned citizen on a crusade to take down a multi-billion dollar industry. It begins in the historic town of Concord, Massachusetts, where patriots once sparked a Revolution that defined democracy and where Thoreau’s Walden once incited environmental activism and civil disobedience. In her bid to ban the sale of bottled water in her town, Jean hopes to raise awareness for plastic pollution in our oceans. Her riveting story is a test of individuals’ ability to effect profound social change and an insightful portrait of small-town America.
