"When Canadian filmmaker Barri Cohen discovers that her ten-year-old daughter's 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. In the southern Ontario cities of Windsor and Sarnia, everyone seems to know children who have suffered from respiratory illnesses, leukemia, and brain tumors. And the Native Canadian reserve of Aamjiwnaang has an astounding birth rate problem that officials can't afford to ignore. This empowering film is one woman's quest for truth."--Container.
