Be our guest at a free screening of "STINK!", sponsored by Beautycounter.
Please join us Thursday, January 14th, 2016 at 7:00 p.m. for a free screening of "STINK!". Register via the link above...
We'll be joined for a post-screening Q&A by Lindsay Dahl, Beautycounter's Head of Policy & Partnerships, Kathleen Schuler from Conservation Minnesota, and other special guests.
Location: Landmark Theatres, Edina, MN - 3911 West 50th, Edina. Free parking in the public ramp behind the theater.
SUMMARY:
Stink! opens with a foul smell and a brand new pair of kids pajamas. And a single father trying to find out what that smell could possibly be. But instead of getting a straight answer, director Jon Whelan stumbles on an even bigger issue in America, which is that some products on our store shelves are not safe by design.
Entertaining, enlightening, and at times almost absurd, "Stink!" takes you on a madcap journey from the retailer to the laboratory, through corporate boardrooms, down back alleys, and into the halls of Congress.
Follow Whelan as he clashes with political and corporate operatives all trying to protect the darkest secrets of the chemical industry.
"Heartfelt... sensible and unnerving"
-The New York Times
"A Michael Moore-like investigation... what (Whelan) uncovers is more than a bad smell"
-The Boston Globe
"That yucky body spray could actually kill somebody"
-The Hollywood Reporter
"Breezy, Michael Moore-ish environmental documentary by a non-tree-hugging venture
capitalist advocates for disclosure of carcinogenic chemicals in everyday products."
-The Film Journal
"Stink! carries with it the unassailable whif of common sense."
-Variety
"How Stinky PJs Launched a Crusade Against the Chemical Industry"
-Fortune
"A new documentary on dangerous chemical ingredients found in everyday products
may make you think twice when spritzing yourself with cologne."
-Page Six
