This documentary follows the research of Dr. Swan and other experts in the field, covering the impact on human development. The film features six couples with unexplained infertility who embark on a bold plastic detox of their homes; it changes their lives, health, and families forever. 
The film will be followed by a discussion on how to reduce your plastic exposure and take matters into our own hands.
