The Center for Biological Diversity is hosting an environmental and reproductive health film and webinar series October 5 to November 2. The series is a follow-up to the Center’s 2022 report The Influence of Environmental Toxicity, Inequity and Capitalism on Reproductive Health.
The upcoming films and webinars take place:
- A Silent Transformation — Film viewing Oct. 5 to 12, webinar Oct. 12. The modern economy increasingly denies people basic amenities to give them a decent life. This documentary shows how the cooperative model is as critical as ever.
- Children of the Vine — Film viewing Oct. 12 to 19, webinar Oct. 19. This film is an unsettling investigation into the controversial herbicide Roundup and how it harms public health.
- We the Guinea Pigs — Film viewing Oct. 19 to 26, webinar Oct. 26. As plastic has become increasingly common throughout our lives, this film finds there’s also an inexplicable increase in the number of diseases and disorders in people, from breast cancer to low sperm quality.

Why this report and series matter: The science is clear about the ways plastic, pollution, and agriculture harm individuals, families, communities, and the environment. In this part of the world, where many live because of the beauty and proximity of nature, we are feeling the impact bigger and harsher ways, from toxins harming the environment (water and fish, for example) to climate change, air quality, and poor health outcomes resulting from toxins and restricted access to health care for many.
