About the Film:
How to Poison a Planet uses sworn testimony and internal documents to expose what chemical companies knew about ‘forever chemical’ toxicity and widespread contamination by the late 1970s, long before they alerted authorities to the dangers of the chemicals they produced and sold. Through the stories of two distant but similarly affected communities, the film highlights the global scale and consequences of PFAS pollution.
The documentary premiered in New York on 27 February 2025.
