Algae | The New Superplant Could Replace Oil and Plastic

Algae are often seen as a problem when they wash onto beaches or contaminate coastal waters. But scientists are studying them as something far more powerful: a living raw material with the potential to reshape how we make fuel, materials, food, and even medical treatments.

This documentary follows researchers working with algae in the lab, at sea, and along vulnerable coastlines. From seaweed farms in cold northern waters to experiments on biodegradable materials and early vision research, the film explores how one of Earth’s oldest organisms could become part of a future less dependent on oil, while showing the scientific, industrial, and ecological limits still standing in the way.
