Poison City (2003)
Dzerzhinsk, a Russian city 240 miles east of Moscow, is considered the most chemically polluted town on Earth. Factories producing industrial chemicals (and in Soviet times, chemical weapons) employ a quarter of the 300,000 residents in a city where life expectancy has fallen to 42-47 years, the death rate is 2.6 times higher than the birth rate, and the men are close to impotence. Reporter Tim Samuels recorded a series of in-depth interviews with the inhabitants of Dzerzhinsk for the Correspondent strand, revealing what life is like for the beleaguered populace.

Good movie but grossly overrated
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
