"This movie makes it impossible to hide behind the numbers. It not only changes the way that you look at the world, but the way that we look at ourselves." -- Randy Hayes, Founder, Rainforest Action Network "Unacceptable Levels is powerful. It tells the story of toxic chemicals in just about every aspect of our lives, and the egregious lack of regulation. Our ability to protect our families is at stake." -- Joan Blades, Co-founder of MomsRising.org & MoveOn.org "This movie is a must see for all of us whose vision is a future free from toxic chemicals...policy makers, CEOs, educators and parents alike." -- Erin Switalski, Executive Director, Women's Voices for the Earth "From the products we use, to the food we eat, to the air we breathe, Unacceptable Levels documents how prevalent toxic chemicals have become a part of our everyday lives. Ed Brown uses the powerful connection of family to illustrate how broken our system has become, and why we must do something about it. Our children's futures depend on it." -- Gigi Lee Chang, CEO, Healthy Child Healthy World

Unacceptable Levels


PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Over 80,000 chemicals flow through our system of commerce, and many go straight into our bodies. Due to this unrelenting exposure, we have approximately 200 synthetic industrial chemicals interacting with our cells every single day. And, until recently, modern science didn't quite understand what that meant for us in the long run, but now, that's changing...

UNACCEPTABLE LEVELS, an acclaimed, award-winner at the Yosemite, Filmambiente and Fife International Film Festivals, examines the results of the chemical revolution of the 1940s through the eyes of first-time filmmaker Ed Brown, a father seeking to understand the world in which he and his wife are raising their children.

To create this documentary, one man (Brown) and his camera traveled extensively to interview top minds in the fields of science, advocacy, and law, including influential author and gadfly Ralph Nader; Dr. Devra Lee Davis, Founder of The Environmental Health Trust; Andy Igrejas, Director of Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families; and Dr. Jennifer Sass, Senior Scientist with Natural Resources Defense Council, among many others. Weaving their eye-opening testimonies into a compelling - and sometimes frightening - narrative, Brown unspools the story of how the chemical revolution brought us to where we are, and to where, if we're not vigilant, it may take us.

Posing challenges to our companies, our government, and our society to do something about a nearly-unseen threat, UNACCEPTABLE LEVELSopens the door to conversations about the ever-present chemical burdens we face so that we can all make informed decisions on how we live, now and in the future.
