They're not putting things into the proper context: Sure, these chemicals probably are threats to human well-being, and figuring out how to remove them from our environment is worthwhile. However, the 20th century saw an unprecedented increase in life expectancy and quality of life, two great wars and god knows how many chemicals notwithstanding. I doubt many -- even those inflicted with the abnormalities mentioned in this documentary -- would choose to live in the world before synthetic materials were available, in 1908, say.

Also, it's totally one-sided and they lose a lot of credibility with the sensationalist tone of the piece -- ominous music, tableaux of helpless children next to deadly chemicals, mentions of human extinction... Please.
