Submission

Veteran Swedish documentarian Stefan Jarl wrote and directed this disturbing but important film about the consequences of chemicals that has been drastically affecting humans and the environment. In the film Jarl submits his blood to find out what's in there. What he finds out is shocking and terrifying that open a window into the chemical society we are living with 500 million tonnes of use yearly that includes pesticides, softeners (phthalates), flame retardants (PBDE), surfactants (PFOS, PFOA) amongst others. The frightening aspect is that nobody knows the exact consequences with little research under the radar of the governments that has the chemical industry laughing their way all the way to the bank. This is that has to been seen by everybody because the fate of human race is at stake before it's too late. YRCinema's coverage of the 33rd edition of the Mill Valley Film Festival.
