Poisoned Lives: Secrets of the Chemical Industry
In the 1960s, prisoners at the Holmesburg Prison in Philadelphia were used as human test subjects for chemical companies, including Dow Chemical, to test the safety of their products. Decades later, the legacy of these experiments and the ongoing environmental impact of chemical manufacturing continue to affect communities worldwide, as seen in the case of the Bhopal disaster in India and the contamination of water in Parkersburg, West Virginia. This documentary explores the human cost of corporate negligence and the struggle for accountability in the face of powerful chemical giants.
