In India, DDT is used in the battle against malaria, even though it has proven toxic and no longer effective against the mosquitoes. Every week Indian villages are visited by a spraying team. The government continues to use tons of DDT, even though simple remedies like mosquito nets and fish would be far more effective controls. The deadly toxin is borne by air currents across the globe, poisoning food supplies as far as Europe and America. This film exposes the power of the pesticide industry which is worth billions of dollars in India. The government's fight against malaria is a good source of income which the industry will do anything to keep. However, people around the world will pay with their lives. College Adult
