The World's First Toxic Comedy

Blue Vinyl, winner of the Excellence in Cinematography award at Sundance, is a deeply personal and vital expose that has been applauded as "scary and hilarious!" (Elvis Mitchell, The New York Times)

Skeptical of her parents' decision to "re-side" their home with vinyl siding (polyvinyl chloride or PVC), Peabody Award-winning filmmaker Judith Helfand set out with award-winning cinematographer/co-director Daniel B. Gold in search of the truth about vinyl, one of the fastest selling plastics in America. With a deep appreciation for irony, a great deal of chutzpah, and a piece of vinyl siding firmly in hand, Helfand and Gold travel from suburban Long Island to the vinyl-manufacturing capital of Louisiana and as far as Venice, Italy - where 31 former executives from a PVC-producing company are on trial for manslaughter.

Artfully balancing the horror with the humor, unexpected twists with unbelievable turns, Blue Vinyl is a sobering, shockingly funny, uniquely personal exploration into what it takes to be a really educated consumer.
