Food lover Nazrudin Rahman is shocked to hear that microplastics are in our food, water and air. Here’s how the cooking show host discovers how to enjoy his food again – and keep his family healthy.

Malaysian food show host Nazrudin Rahman thinks a lot about what his family eats. He sets off on a journey to learn more about an almost invisible problem: tiny plastic particles in his lunch and dinner. He discovers that the problem is closely connected to waste disposal and doesn’t just involve food. He’d better kick out some of the products in his bathroom as well.

UNSEEN opens your eyes. We travel through Southeast Asia and discover stories about people whose lives could be yours. In Indonesia, children suffer from air pollution – something doctors, architects and entrepreneurs are fighting with innovative and original concepts. Then we head to Malaysia for an episode in learning how to deal with microplastics in food. We follow a fan of great cuisine on his own personal journey. What’s safe to eat and drink? Which products are good, and which don’t measure up? Next up is Thailand’s capital Bangkok, one of Asia’s sinking cities. Its inhabitants prepare for future floods, adapting their city and seeking tools to make their homes safe. In Vietnam we get caught in gridlock. Nothing new! But this time, we’re stuck with some cool rappers teaching people how not to go crazy in traffic. And finally, in Taiwan, it’s all about green tech. Learn about the hopes and limits of the new technologies being developed to solve life’s challenges. Join us on an exciting trip in five episodes – one that will open your eyes to beastly challenges and promising solutions!
