Le film suit l'acteur britannique Jeremy Irons alors qu'il examine à l'échelle mondiale l'impact de l'humanité moderne et des déchets. L'acteur oscarisé rencontre des spécialistes, des scientifiques, des particuliers victimes de la pollution. Une grande partie du fim expose les conséquences des émissions des incinérateurs, pour cela le documentaire s'attarde en France ou en Islande. Le documentaire s'intéresse aussi à la question du plastique et à ses conséquences sur les océans.

Strawberry Fields points out that strawberries grown in Gaza are the only agricultural product marketed internationally as being of Palestinian origin. One of the major Gaza strawberry farms in located at Beit Lahiya. More than 1,500 tons of strawberries are exported from Gaza to Europe through the Israeli company Agrexco. In order to get overseas, however, the fruits need to pass through the checkpoint that separates Israel and Gaza. The 2005–2006 growing season coincided with the Israel's disengagement from Gaza and the rise of Hamas as the ruling political entity. The armed conflict between Israel and Hamas resulted in the closing of the border checkpoint. The strawberries grown at Beit Lahiya cannot leave Gaza, resulting in significant losses for the farmers and their Agrexco partners. Unable to transport their produce, the farmers have no choice but to dispose of their crop and prepare for the following year’s growing season.

The documentary focuses on the captivity of Tilikum, an orca involved in the deaths of three individuals, and the consequences of keeping orcas in captivity. The coverage of Tilikum includes his capture in 1983 off the coast of Iceland, and purported harassment by fellow captive orcas at Sealand of the Pacific, incidents that Cowperthwaite argues contributed to the orca's aggression and includes testimonial from Lori Marino, Director of Science with the Nonhuman Rights Project. Cowperthwaite also focuses on SeaWorld's claims that lifespans of orcas in captivity are comparable to those in the wild, typically 30 years for males and 50 years for females, a claim the film argues is false. Interview subjects also include former SeaWorld trainers, such as John Hargrove, who describe their experiences with Tilikum and other captive whales.

En 2012, dans la revue Nature, Anthony Barnosky, Elizabeth Hadly et 20 autres scientifiques annoncent qu'une partie de l'humanité pourrait disparaître avant 2100, du fait de l'impact de l'espèce humaine sur les écosystèmes, entraînant la fin des conditions de vie stables sur Terre. La surpopulation, le manque d'eau, le manque d'énergies fossiles, le dérèglement climatique vont lancer des millions de pauvres désespérés à l'assaut des pays nantis.
