Soozie Eastman/2019/68 min/Health & the Environment, People & Culture
CHICAGO-AREA PREMIERE. FILM DESCRIPTION: Soozie Eastman learns that hundreds of synthetic toxins are now found in every baby born in America and the government and chemical corporations are doing little to protect citizens and consumers. With guidance from world-renowned physicians and environmental leaders, interviews with scientists and politicians, and stories of everyday Americans, Soozie uncovers how we got to be so overloaded with chemicals and if there is anything we can do to take control of our exposure.
Before the film, enjoy a One Earth Young Filmmakers Contest honorable mention short film at the middle school level, "Green Gone."
