| C R A P S H O O T - T H E G A M B L E W I T H O U R W A S T E S - Down into the sewer everyday: thousands of synthetic chemicals, organic chemicals, every type of pharmaceutical drug, oils, paints, heavy metals, condoms, food wastes, radioactive materials, asbestos, hospital and dental wastes, just to name a few. Worldwide we’ve come to rely on the sewer to rid ourselves of almost anything that can be carried away by water. Once our wastes are flushed away they become the problem of whoever is at the end of the pipe. The technology we’ve inherited to clean up after ourselves may simply be compounding our waste problems. The sewer is proving to be an outdated, expensive and arguably ineffective system. With the ever-growing use of chemicals in our industries and homes, we have created a sewage system which ‘turbocharges’ these chemicals into our water and into our food cycles. We have become locked into a technological trap with the sewer. This 52 minute documentary contemplates the evolution and global legacy of the sewer.
