DocuBay, the leading global documentary streaming platform from the house of IN10 Media Network, has announced the release of its inaugural original documentary, 'Plastic Fantastic'.

'Plastic Fantastic' is a testament to DocuBay's dedication to crafting diverse and captivating non-fiction content across a range of genres.

Commenting on the documentary, Girish Dwibhashyam, COO, DocuBay, said: "It touches upon how people want to improve their looks; while most use cosmetic products, there are others who are not afraid to take extreme steps such as permanent cosmetic surgeries."
