 testimonials:\n\n"Unacceptable Levels" is a no-nonsense documentary that 
 will challenge everything you think you know about health, safety, and 
 environmental protection." - Beth Buczynski, ecosalon\n\n"Unacceptable 
 Levels is a great documentary ... about the myriad ways we are being 
 exposed to toxins, poisons and allergens in our daily life. It is sweet, 
 funny, clear, and illuminating." - Paul Hawken, founder of Smith & Hawken, 
 environmentalist\n\n"Although at points during "Unacceptable Levels" you 
 might feel incredibly discouraged or even nauseous, Brown retains his open, 
 honest demeanor–and it's calming. He doesn't freak out and tell us we're 
 all doomed. He has hope, and he ends the film with a call to action that we 
 can all respond to: Do something. Care about something. Investigate for 
 yourself. Make a small change. Share what you've learned with a friend. 
 Sign a petition or send a letter to a brand that you want to see change." - 
 Beth Buczynski, ecosalon\n\n"From the products we use, to the food we eat, 
 to the air we breathe, Unacceptable Levels documents how prevalent toxic 
 chemicals have become part of our lives. Ed Brown uses the powerful 
 connection of family to illustrate how broken our system has become, and 
 why we must do something about it. Our children's futures depend on 
 it."\n– Gigi Lee Chang, CEO, Healthy Child Healthy World\n\n"This 
 excellent film brings home in a very real way the link between our 
 environment and our health." - Génon Jensen, Executive Director of HEAL 
 (Health and Environment Alliance)\n\n
