Poisoned Lives: Secrets of the Chemical Industry | ENDEVR Documentary

Poisoned Lives: Secrets of the Chemical Industry | Investigative Documentary from 2016
Alice, Kenton, Bucky, Rachna… these are the hidden victims of the chemical industry. They have all grown up in India or the United States, in towns built around plastic and pesticide companies. These omnipresent corporations fund stadiums, schools and museums and have provided residents with jobs for decades.
In the US, in the late 1960s, they secretly tested Dioxin on prisoners - one of the most carcinogenic products in the world. Throughout the decades that followed, the company released this product into the stream running alongside their Midland factory, in the North of the country.
In West Virginia, they contaminated ground water with C8, one of the components used in Teflon. A molecule believed to be at the root of thyroid problems, high blood cholesterol, ulcerative colitis, arterial hypertension and kidney and testicular cancer. Today, over 3,500 residents and employees suffering from these illnesses are taking the multinational to court.
In Bhopal, India, thousands of young children are heavily disabled due to drinking water polluted with pesticide residue.
The chemical giants have done everything possible to stifle these human tragedies. With the help of scientific studies and confidential documents, the two directors gage the true extent of the contamination, ultimately exposing years of lies and impunity.
All that remains are the testimonies of the victims across the world, those whose lives have been poisoned. They are fighting, with the hope that one day, those responsible will be held accountable for their actions.

@Doctor Whowhotheowl Not boring, structured! I love chemistry and that is probably why I also started to learn how to bake and really enjoy it. Baking is also structured chemistry! It's not guessing like cooking where you're just adding whatever you think tastes right. I don't like cooking and guessing when it's done because it's never finished when the recipe says... Baking recipe are like chemistry recipe, ingredients must be exact for the outcome desired. I will always get the desired outcome as long as I adhere the exact same way. If the bake is bad, then I messed up a measurement. A new recipe, a new chemical concoction takes multiple attempts to find the right ingredient measurements. Though I just get salty cheesecake cookies when I mess up, not a toxic backyard.

IT'S THEIR THING ... they do reveal crimes in the documentaries, there's no such brazen trampling on freedom & unfair injustice as gag-injunction in the French Legal System. But they have their worst among the judges, that's why the journalists have to be selfless warriors and the French ones are. You don't need a French whistle-blower, because an investigative journalist is a jack-of-all-trades-in-disguise protected by the French Law. It has very shady reference to a 19-th century definition of a newspaper journalist, as being an undecover 'agent de police', secretly conducting [police] inquiry. You should see what the French (& also the Swiss) did in 1980-es' documentaries before their nation-wide State TV network was privatised by an I's'r'a'e'li billionaire Bouick with help of a young Jacques Chirac's aide-de-camp, named Nicolas Sarcosy, aged only 24-26. Still the bulk of international investigations are only in French (also the Italian are very good in that), sometimes they seem to produce a censored, reducted video version of a secret service's report (on the international issues). ~ Investigations poisons mortels ~ LETHAL POISONS (MILITARY-GRADED WASTE) ~ kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6aYm4iVlKajg8k - SPORT FIELD FOR LOCAL YOUTH BUILT AS A COVER-UP OF THE DEADLY WASTELAND ~ kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2esXouGed9ohbM ~ kzbin.infovideos ~ kzbin.info/door/50uCdUubc04xXZz7bqv5ngvideos ~ kzbin.infovideos ~ kzbin.info/aero/PL2HJubrp1ilgVg-hoQZX_zO254d_mWnDk

It's always a game of Russian Roulette, will I run into something that will ruin my experience or will I make it through both stores unaffected? Once I am hit I'm done. Sometimes I have to sit down and brace in case I pass out. Other times I have to get to my vehicle and lay down in the backseat until I can drive.

When I was 5 years old, my family bought an old farm house and renovated it. They ripped out all of the flooring. I remember the dust created and my mother being worried about me playing around them. So they gave me one of those 3M face masks, ridiculously oversized for the size of a 5yo face. Today I find out that C-8 was commonly used in a plethora of flooring materials used in old housings, and that the dust has been linked to UC. It's amazing how money and point of view can change reality. I have looked up causes for UC for near a decade now. I have, naturally, not once looked up the risk factors of Perfluorooctanoic Acid (C-8), to which I was heavily exposed in my child hood.

I started out working with chemicals when I was 19. It was 1974 and I lived in Lubbock Texas. Texas is a right-to-work state so wages were exceptionally low. I could not find a job where I would make the federal minimum wage. The best paying job in town was at the Texas instrument plant. I made $1.85 per hour working the evening shift on the plastic injection press line. And had several jobs before I went to work at Texas instruments and never made more than a dollar per hour. The federal minimum wage at the time was $2 per hour. They were using very toxic chemicals where I work making plastic calculator cases. I had a headache the entire time. We never had the right equipment. Chemical resistant gloves, we were given regular dishwashing gloves. The solvent used to clean the injection press molds cost of gloves to disintegrate less than halfway through the shift. Replacements were not given. One day I went to work and every workstation will set up orgonomic lie with lots of gloves and other safety equipment and the proper lighting. If you guess that OSHA came that day, you would be correct. I never had any family members in the union and I did not know anyone who belonged to a union. Working at Texas instruments showed me how important unions are to protect the health and safety of the majority of working citizens in our country

I'm 40 now, and haven't had any health issues, but I feel terrible for everyone who has developed health issues due to the Dioxin levels. I worked for the city for a year, in waste water, located directly across the street from Dows main plant. I've heard quite a few crazy stories about the catacombs they have below the plant, all filled with barrels of dioxin and left over agent orange/purple. I can tell you that the sewers around Dow had something leaking into them, it was a dark oily like substance that smelled a lot like motor oil. A friend of mine helped build the baseball stadium on Dow grounds. He claims they helped remove tons of barrels that were Burried in the ground that the stadium now covers. Also, a brilliant Dow scientists who invented a way to measure dioxin levels was fired for doing so.

This is why we must call for Direct Digital Democracy without Parties nor Politicians. Citizen initiated referendums with thresholds and a social contract means Communities can vote their own laws. As well as a Public Authority to audit police and prosecute bad actors in our own courts. It means we can Nationalise resources and give Indigenous peoples the right of Sovereignty over them as Guardians. This can be achieved through a General Strike or Velvet Revolution, much like the Occupy movement, peacefully occupying State Buildings until a People's Mandate can be implemented. With the appropriate checks and balances, you could have a national digital forum where qualified professionals can debate the issues in a public setting without all the disinformation and bad faith antics, hatespeech etc. Any vote would need to pass the 70% threshold, with a veto or _rewrite_ vote needing 30%. The issues would be debated, the public educated, and then a vote taken. Votes that fail will have to wait a year before trying again. Any new proposal (Citizen Initiated Referendum) would have to reach a threshold of support before it made it onto the register. This would all be subject to a Social Contract (New Constitution) that forbids human rights abuses and discrimination, that can be written in the same manner based on the core principles we all share. Councils and Boards could operate in a similar fashion at Scale. It works in a way that obligates people to better educate themselves ( that is to use logic and evidence in their reasoning ) for a better understanding of the issues, and then take collective responsibility for the outcomes. As opposed to the divisive US v them scapegoating and bi-partisan finger pointing the current Capitalist Pyramid Scheme runs on. Thorium energy renders the global oil monopoly obsolete An average person's lifetime's worth of energy with Thorium energy would cost just $100 It is safer, cleaner, and cheaper, allowing for desalination and carbon sequestration. It also can process toxic and nuclear wastes and in return produces the most effective cancer treatment known to man. In the case of a complete failure the liquid salt cools into a container and then solidifies, it will be low level radioactive for 300 years, as opposed to extremely radioactive for 25k years. Thorium produce grams to the tonne in comparison to Conventional Reactors. It's compact elements don't require a pressure containment like with conventional reactors and so can be transported to remote communities who would be able to process their own waste for energy. There is enough Thorium already mined for us to power the economy for another 1000yrs. It can also be used to power Hydrogen converters for carbon free combustion engines. It's the only technology that could scale to provide effective carbon sequestration. The cost is also a tiny fraction of current models. It also can't be weaponised. Thorium energy is our only hope to survive Climate Change It's crazy it isn't discussed more

I just refused to give in to the school despite threats of reporting me to protective services for not allowing my children to attend school. Turning point in my life. I refuse to ever again go against my own judgement,instinct and research.

[@kathleankeesler1639]

Thank you for your courage in exposing these chemical monsters.

*_Lindane_* ... I'm 68 years old. As a kid, I remember we had a little ceramic "vaporizer" in the hallway that would gradually vaporize a small pellet of insecticide to deter insects from the house. As a kid, I used to read labels. The pellets were *LINDANE!* I guess I should be dead -- from this and all the other unknown hazards I was exposed to growing up! I remember spraying for bugs when I was growing up. The one ingredient that seemed to be the most effective was *CHLORDANE!* Those darned _-danes!_

Watching this eight years after 2016; knowing that many of the effected human beings and the corporate heads and apologists are deceased, some in pain and perhaps poverty, some at ease and still affluent despite the effluent dumped, pumped, denied and dismissed.

Thank you for this excellent documentary. I have passed it on to everyone I know. The average person tends to trust those they work for. A secure job, good benefits and a decent wage, blinds most to apparent dangers. Exposing these grave dangers, will hopefully make future generations of workers more diligent in their awareness to expose job hazards.

Good thinking. The whole world should see this. Then turn it onto Monsanto.

[@michealholland6882]

This is great docs like this help expose all the horrible industries in this country and hopefully help rid us of all these horrible chemicals

As these chemicals probably ended up in the sea, could this have affected fish stocks, coral growth, poisoned fish sold as food???

[@abhinavsrivastava8615]

Sure.

[@maryw3052]

Yeah, and these chemicals can stay in the ground for decades...

Just now learning about these issues and it just gives me chills imagine how many cases there are like this in other states like flint Michigan. The owners are probably already passed if they’ve had exposure and everything is just run by children or grandchildren.

Fantastic documentary. If the Hollywood media-BBC, CNN, FFD,CYSB, CNBC, BCC, NSBC and all other rubbish networks were doing this type of documentary the world would have been a better place. This is activism journalism by Arthur Bouvart and Jules Giraudat.
