A 90-minute documentary on the connectedness between human health and the wellness of the environment, “Living Downstream” takes a scientific look at the distribution of three chemicals – atrazine, chlorine and PCBs – into the North American air, water and land and their possible link to cancer. Based on a book by Sandra Steingraber, Ph.D., Illinois native, ecologist and cancer survivor, the film maps her story and the environment’s, some right here in Illinois. Steingraber and filmmaker Chevannes take audience questions after the screening, followed by a book signing. Sponsored by the Illinois Stewardship Alliance, Sustainable Springfield, Inc. and Pesticide Action Network North America.
