Stink!
Heartfelt documentary about the chemical industry's aggressive efforts to conceal the thousands of potentially toxic ingredients…in everyday products.
Stink!
Stink! opens with a foul smell, a brand new pair of kids pajamas, and a single father trying to find out what that smell could possibly be.

Follow Whelan as he clashes with political and corporate operatives all trying to protect the darkest secrets of the chemical industry.
