I think one of the best things about this movie is her depiction of the people, and their variety. Also, I could seriously identify with her frustrations dealing with industry PR and I think she did an excellent job of portraying this in an entertaining and non-venomous way. The PR people, without actually lying, tried to convince her that vinyl was safe *because* it was about half chlorine..."you know...like sodium chloride". Judith was biased, which isn't always a bad thing, but she did show the other side of the story at least somewhat.

This documentary illustrates several controversies surrounding vinyl without going into exhaustive detail. The audience with whom I viewed this film remained involved through the entire things, and literally broke out cheering when...well, I guess that would be a spoiler :)
