No More Plastic

Chère Isabelle,
Notre rencontre fut sincèrement l’une des plus belles rencontres entre femmes neurodivergentes que j’aie eu la chance de vivre.
J’ai été profondément touchée par votre sensibilité, votre intelligence, votre liberté et cette manière si rare que vous avez d’habiter le monde.
Quel bonheur de faire votre connaissance, et quel immense honneur de vous avoir remis le Human Peace Prize 2026 à Cannes pour tout ce que vous avez entrepris, porté et inspiré au fil des années.

Ce prix vous est décerné pour le courage que vous avez su incarner toute votre vie, pour la force singulière de votre voix et de vos positions, pour votre engagement en faveur de la liberté d’expression, et pour le courage avec lequel vous vous êtes opposée aux dérives autoritaires et fondamentalistes.

Depuis des décennies, vous incarnez une parole rare dans le paysage artistique : libre, sensible, profondément humaniste. Une voix qui n’a jamais accepté le silence face aux injustices, aux discriminations, aux dérives autoritaires, à la montée des fanatismes et à toutes les formes d’oppression.

Dans un monde où tant choisissent le confort du silence, vous avez choisi le courage de la parole.
Vous avez toujours refusé de vous conformer. Refusé les cases. Refusé les injonctions. Refusé la peur.
Votre parcours artistique porte lui aussi cette liberté : des rôles d’une intensité bouleversante, des femmes habitées, insoumises, souvent en lutte contre les violences sociales, politiques ou intimes. À travers elles, vous avez donné un visage à la fragilité humaine autant qu’à sa puissance.
Vous appartenez à ces artistes rares qui transforment leur notoriété en responsabilité morale.
À une époque marquée par les replis identitaires, les violences idéologiques et la banalisation de la haine, votre voix continue de rappeler une chose essentielle : la culture doit rester un espace de liberté, de conscience et de résistance. ~ Rosalie Mann




Merci d’avoir immortalisé ce moment 🙏

This week, during the 11th Positive Cinema Week held under the auspices of the Cannes Film Festival, we will have the honor, alongside and to celebrate artists whose voices, work, and commitments resonate far beyond cinema.
Through the Humann Prize, created by Rosalie Mann and presented by No More Plastic Foundation, we pay tribute to personalities who use art as a force for consciousness, resistance, and transformation.

Canadian filmmaker, screenwriter, and actor will receive the 2026 Humann Impact Prize for the extraordinary impact of his work on contemporary culture. Film after film, Xavier Dolan has created a cinematic language of rare emotional intensity, driven by artistic freedom and a deeply human exploration of identity, love, vulnerability, and family bonds.

Iconic actress will receive the 2026 Humann Peace Prize for the courage she has carried throughout her life, the singular strength of her voice and convictions, her commitment to freedom of expression, and her resistance against authoritarian and fundamentalist ideologies.

Franco-Iranian actress and filmmaker will receive the 2026 Humann Action Prize in tribute to her courage, her freedom of speech, and her artistic commitment in the face of oppression, violence, and silence. Forced into exile after being publicly humiliated and persecuted by the Iranian regime, she transformed this attempt to erase her into an artistic and political force of extraordinary power.

In a world marked by fear, division, and rising extremism, we believe more than ever in the power of artists to awaken consciousness, defend freedom, and remind us of our shared humanity.

This week in Cannes, we celebrate those who use their voice to move the world forward.

We are proud to honor iconic American actress Andie MacDowell today as she receives the 2026 Humann Lifetime Prize during the 11th Positive Cinema Week, held under the auspices of the Cannes Film Festival.
This award pays tribute to the stories, journeys, and commitments that inspire us to act for the future of our planet and humanity.
For decades, Andie MacDowell has embodied a rare and powerful vision of womanhood: free, authentic, courageous, and deeply human. Through her refusal of ageism, beauty stereotypes, and the invisibility imposed on women over time, she has helped redefine cultural narratives and open the way toward a more liberated, empowered, and inclusive vision of femininity.
Beyond her extraordinary career, she has become a universal voice for self-acceptance, freedom, and solidarity between generations of women.
By honoring Andie MacDowell, the Humann Lifetime Prize celebrates a world where women are no longer asked to disappear, but to exist fully — visible, free, powerful, no and sovereign at every stage of their lives.

Every April 22, we celebrate the Earth.
But what are we really celebrating? A planet we inhabit…
or a planet we are watching disappear, slowly, before our very eyes?
On April 7, released an image. An “Earthset.”
From 406,000 kilometers away, beyond everything familiar to us, four astronauts looked back at our planet suspended in the void.
Tiny. Fragile. Luminous.
Surrounded by infinite darkness.
Christina Koch put it simply:
what strikes you is not only the beauty of the Earth, it is the vastness of the blackness around it.
That is our reality.
There is no Plan B. No border. No escape.

Fifty-seven years ago, Apollo 8’s “Earthrise” changed humanity forever.
For the first time, we saw ourselves from a distance and we understood.
Today, we are still seeing.
But do we truly understand?
Because while we admire these images, microplastics are invading the air, the oceans, and our bodies.
They trap heat, disrupt natural systems, and contaminate life itself.
This is no longer only an environmental crisis.
It is a public health crisis.
An economic crisis.
A crisis of truth.
Every year, petrochemical-based plastic generates more than $1.5 trillion in health-related costs.
And still, we continue.
To produce. To consume. To look away.
The real paradox is not our ignorance.
It is our lucidity without action.
So no, can no longer be a simple celebration.
It must become a turning point.
Because major transformations are not born from declarations.
They are born from decisions.
From the models we choose to change.
From the systems we choose to rebuild.
That is precisely why Rosalie Mann and Claire Perset created
To move from awareness to action.
To show, concretely and sector by sector, that it is possible to move beyond plastic, and that this transformation is not a constraint, but a driver of value, innovation, and sovereignty.
Because protecting the Earth is no longer about managing plastic better.
It is about moving beyond it.
And because, in the end, the question is no longer: what do we see?
But rather: what will we do, now that we know?

They call phthalates in plastic a “new” risk factor for breast cancer.
But the danger is not new.
What is new is that it is finally being spoken about.
For decades, scientists have warned us.
For decades, phthalates, chemicals found in everyday plastics, from food packaging to soft PVC, have been under scrutiny.
For decades, the signals have accumulated while inaction hid behind doubt, and doubt too often protected industrial comfort more than women’s health.
The recent Taiwanese study published in March in PNAS matters. It strengthens the link between exposure to phthalates, especially DEHP, and the risk of developing breast cancer. But it does not emerge from a vacuum. It confirms long-standing warnings that too many decision-makers have acknowledged without ever truly acting to protect women’s health.
And while reports pile up, women continue to be exposed, younger and younger, through food packaging, beauty products, personal care items, and daily plastic contact.

This is why, with we are organizing a private charity dinner in Cannes during the Film Festival to raise funds.
To raise awareness.
To support research.
To help push for stronger laws on the health impacts of plastics and their chemical components.
To make sure preventable cancers are no longer treated as inevitabilities.
Protecting the future also means protecting women’s bodies.
And protecting women means finally taking seriously what science has been telling us for far too long.
If you would like to obtain tickets or reserve a table, please contact us by DM.

This is not an isolated story. It is the reality of millions of couples around the world.
With , now streaming on , directors and Josh Murphy deliver a film that is both scientifically grounded and deeply human, one I strongly encourage everyone to watch.
The documentary explores a disturbing hypothesis, led by epidemiologist : that the plastics permeating our daily lives may be compromising our ability to reproduce.
To test this, she conducts a radical experiment. For three months, six couples diagnosed with “unexplained infertility” dramatically reduce their exposure to plastic.
Through personal stories and scientific inquiry, the film reveals a troubling reality: food packaging, cosmetics, textile fibers, toys, even books..

Our daily environment is saturated with plastic, posing a very real yet largely invisible risk.
This film does more than inform, it challenges.
It does more than observe, it confronts us with an uncomfortable truth.
Because ultimately, one question emerges: can we truly “detox” from plastic in a world that is saturated with it?
Behind this material, celebrated for its remarkable properties, lie micro-nanoplastics, along with thousands of chemical compounds, phthalates, bisphenols, PFAS, whose impacts on human health are increasingly well documented.
For decades, research has pointed to concerning links between these exposures and a range of serious conditions, from infertility to certain cancers.
This is precisely what Rosalie Mann explores in her book No More Plastic: How Plastic Is Ruining Our Health, where she brings together decades of scientific research to show that plastic is no longer merely an environmental issue, it is a systemic threat to human health, the economy, and the climate.
Reducing plastic is not an ideological stance.
It is a refusal to pass on a toxic legacy to current and future generations.

Deplastifying our society is no longer an option.
It has become a necessity for humanity.
