We see how these chemicals enter our bodies and how, once inside, scientists believe they may be working to cause cancer. We follow these invisible toxins as they migrate to some of the most beautiful places in North America. Thus, we begin two journeys with Sandra: her private struggles with cancer and her public quest to bring attention to the urgent human rights issue of cancer prevention.īut Sandra is not the only one who is on a journey-the chemicals against which she is fighting are also on the move. After a routine cancer screening, Sandra receives some worrying results and is thrust into a period of medical uncertainty. This poetic film follows Sandra during one pivotal year as she travels across North America, working to break the silence about cancer and its environmental links. Based on the acclaimed book by ecologist and cancer survivor Sandra Steingraber, Ph.D., Living Downstream is an eloquent and cinematic documentary film.
