Blue Vinyl

Directed by

Judy Halfand ventures on a journey to find out the truth about PVC, the most popular plastic material in the US. Her first steps move from her parents' experience who, after first enthusing about it, realise they are dealing with an extremely toxic substance. The film is a "toxic" odyssey dense with dramatic turns of events, hovering between a detective-story and environmental activism. A critical point of view which yet finds a balance between the daily horror we are surrounded by and the popular entertaining humour tinged with the colour of denunciation and social conscience through which companies are asked to provide an explanation for concealing the toxicity of the substances they produce.
