CHEMERICAL: REDEFINING CLEAN FOR A NEW GENERATION
From the creator of the award winning film Garbage! The Revolution Starts at Home comes a shocking tale about the products we use to clean our homes and bodies. Chemerical explores the life cycle of everyday householder cleaners and hygiene products to prove that, thanks to our clean obsession, we are drowning in sea of toxicity. Chemerical tackles the "toxic debate" in a truly informative and entertaining way, not only by raising awareness, but most importantly, by providing simple solutions.
