TOXIC TRESPASS
"Impels all of us to work to defuse the toxic time bomb of unregulated chemical
contamination...The film will be especially useful for teachers of environmental
activism and the politics of public health.

Poisoned Well: Global Memories of Environmental Injustice.
When Canadian filmmaker Barri Cohen discovers that her ten-year-old Daughters
blood carries carcinogens like benzene and the long-banned DDT, she travels to
toxic hotspots to uncover startling clusters of deadly diseases, as well as
evidence that industrialized countries are conducting large-scale toxicological
experiments on their children. Combining interviews with affected families and
experts with shocking facts and footage, this empowering and moving film is one
womans quest for truth and essential viewing for anyone concerned about the
growing connections between environmental pollution, public health, and
childrens lives.
