Movie screening of "Unacceptable Levels" in the South Bay brought to you by Seeds of Joy Village

Seeds of Joy Village is pleased to bring a screening of the movie "Unacceptable Levels" to the South Bay. 

Did you know that approximately 200 synthetic industrial chemicals interact with our cells every day? In this documentary, Filmmaker Ed Brown interviews top minds in the fields of science, advocacy and law and learns there are unacceptable levels of chemicals in so many things. 

Ever wonder about chemicals in your day-to-day life? What’s in the air I breathe? The water I drink?
The food I eat? Even the things I put on my skin?

Ed Brown wondered these same things after his wife suffered two miscarriages (they now have two beautiful children). But instead of just wondering, he traveled around the country with his video camera to interview top minds in the fields of science, advocacy and law and learned there are unacceptable levels of chemicals in so many things. Including our bodies.

This documentary dissects the ways chemicals saturate our homes and environment amid a backdrop of a glaring lack of regulation. It chronicles the results of the post-WWII chemical boom and details common avenues of exposure, from food to fluoride to toxic sludge.
