Toxic trespass how safe are your children?

Summary: "Intrepid filmmaker Barri Cohen launches an investigation into the effects of the industrial chemicals around us. She starts with her own daughter, who--like most children today--carries a cocktail of carcinogens in her blood. Travelling to Canadian toxic hotspots Windsor and Sarnia, as well as the Aamjiwnaang First Nations reserve, the film reveals startling clusters of deadly diseases--and a shocking birth-rate problem that officials can no longer ignore. Toxic Trespass delves into the chemical soup that surrounds us and that we've taken for granted. We meet passionate activists, doctors and scientists who see clear evidence of often-denied links between the environment and health, and are working for change. Leavened with wry humour, this empowering documentary is carried out by Cohen's passion for truth and her disarming openess. It is essential viewing for anyone concerned about the health effects of pollutants on our and our children's DNA."--Container.
