With daily exposure we have approximately 200 synthetic industrial compounds in our bodies. Until recently, the long term effects of this were unknown, but with disease rates on the rise, that is changing.

Filmmaker in person for Q&A!

We have over 80,000 chemicals in our commercial system, and some of those have found their way straight into our bodies. With constant, daily exposure, we have approximately 200 synthetic industrial compounds that are interacting with our cells every single day. Until recently, science really didn’t understand what that could mean for us in the long run, but that is changing. Globally, disease rates are on the rise without explanation—yet the issues are complex and often muddied by the maneuvering of political and corporate interests. Director Ed Brown explores these issues as a father and a filmmaker to see if we can prevent disease before it happens.
