| Endocrine Disrupters: Silent Warning from
the Great Lakes Japan/1999/50min Producer: KANECO Yoshikazu Director: KURASAKO Keiji, MAEDA Kouichi In the three years since "Our Stolen Future," accumulating information suggests endocrine disrupters harm the human brain. Children whose mothers ate fish contaminated by PCBs from the Great Lakes were found more likely to suffer mental deficiencies.
