About Constellation Constellation is the coolest NEW online movie theater! Just like a traditional theater, audiences purchase tickets to attend scheduled show times of films. Unlike other online platforms, watching movies on Constellation is a social experience. Users pick a show time to attend, invite friends, and watch movies together! Movies are presented by VIP hosts, such as the films' directors, actors, or subject experts, who appear live in the online theater to answer questions from the audience during and after the film.
About Bag It Try going a day without plastic. Plastic is everywhere and infiltrates our lives in unimaginable and frightening ways. In this touching and often flat- out-funny film, we follow "everyman" Jeb Berrier, who is admittedly not a tree hugger, as he embarks on a global tour to unravel the complexities of our plastic world. What starts as a film about plastic bags evolves into a wholesale investigation into plastic and its affect on our waterways, oceans, and even our own bodies. We see how our crazy-for-plastic world has finally caught up to us and what we can do about it. Today. Right now.
