A global-wide experiment is in progress, and we are the guinea pigs. Everyday, tons of chemicals are released into the enivroment, without ever knowing how toxic they are in the long term to the living organisms. Moreover: the majority of the 100,000 molecules developed since World War II which are used in daily products have never been tested... In a hard-hitting investigation, carried out with intelligence and humor, director, Carole Poliquin, has her own blood tested and explores the links between those toxic substances nd some rising health problems such as cancer, allergies, hyperactivity, infertility. Her findings are disturbing and strongly challenge our way of life.
