Filmmaker captures heartbreaking images of albatrosses killed by plastic on a remote Pacific island

A filmmaker has captured heartbreaking images of albatrosses killed by plastic on a remote Pacific island. Decaying birds are shown with their stomachs full of plastic waste while young chicks are pictured surroundeded by debris. One picture shows a young bird with its neck folded into its back while seemingly still living in the nest where it was born. The snaps shine a light on the plastic pollution that has killed tens of thousands of birds on the island, which sits 2,000 miles (3,200km) from the nearest continent. American photographer and filmmaker Chris Jordan said he hopes the shocking pictures force people to emotionally engage with the problems plastic is causing on a global scale.
