 When director Judith Helfand's parents install vinyl siding on their house, she sets out with filmmaking partner Daniel B. Gold to find out the truth about the toxic manufacture and corporate corruption behind a seemingly innocuous plastic product. From vinyl sided homes in suburban Long Island, to hushed cancer outbreaks in Louisiana and

Venice, Italy

, this vibrant exposé tracks vinyl's shocking history with willful irony and a healthy dose of humor.
