The Spring - Charity: Water Documentary

An extraordinary charity that has completely changed the way charities run — 100% of donations go directly to the cause, with staff salaries paid by patrons who believe in the mission. Not just a documentary, but proof that integrity-led organizations can change the world while setting a new standard for how giving should work.

Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha: Data-Driven Advocacy

Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha is the pediatrician and scientist who blew the whistle on the Flint water crisis. Her data-driven advocacy is the defining example of how a single scientist can force a government to act on water contamination. Essential viewing for understanding the intersection of water, public health, and justice.

Mamavation

Covers the devastating reality of microplastic and forever chemical buildups in breast milk, and the introduction of nano and microplastics into baby formula through plastic-lined bottles — sometimes pushing a million microplastic particles into a baby during their development years.

The EPA's Own Data

In January 2025 the EPA released its own draft risk assessment for PFAS in sewage sludge on farmland. The assessment acknowledges the risk. It does not ban the practice or set enforceable limits. This is a primary source — when someone tells you the government says it's safe, you can point here and ask: have you actually read what the government says?

Microplastics found in 90 per cent of prostate tumours, study reveals

Not just in the blood. Not just in the brain. Now in tumors — in the tissue of active cancers. The accumulation hypothesis just got clinical. The question is no longer whether microplastics are harmful. It's how far the damage has already reached.
