The Human Experiment

Narrated by Sean Penn — an investigation into the untested chemicals in our everyday products, our homes, and inside of us. Directed by Dana Nachman and Don Hardy, the film screened at IDFA and the Mill Valley Film Festival.

The Human Experiment reveals how thousands of untested chemicals wind up in everyday products — the couches we sit on, the food we eat, the products we put on our skin — and how the makers of those chemicals fight to keep them on the market despite links to cancer, infertility, and other diseases. Directed by Dana Nachman and Don Hardy, the film follows scientists, advocates, and everyday families pushing for reform, and traces the regulatory gaps that have let so many chemicals go untested for decades.
