Blue Vinyl

With humor, hope and a piece of vinyl siding firmly in hand, Peabody Award-winning filmmaker Judith Helfand and CO-director and award-winning Cinematographer Daniel B. Gold travel from Helfand's hometown to America's vinyl manufacturing capital and beyond in search of answers about the nature of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Her parents' decision to "re-side" their house with this seemingly benign cure-all for many suburban homes turns into a toxic odyssey with twists and turns that most ordinary homeowners would never dare to take. The result is a humorous but sobering and uniquely personal exploration of the relationship between consumers and industry.  Blue Vinyl won the Documentary Award for Excellence at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival.

Directors Judith Helfand and Daniel Gold will be present for a post-film discussion: The Greening of Judaism.
