Blue Vinyl Premieres on HBO

With humor and chutzpah, Peabody Award-winning filmmaker Judith Helfand and co-director and award winning-cinematographer Daniel B. Gold travel to America's vinyl manufacturing capital and beyond in search
of the truth about vinyl, America's most popular and second fastest selling plastic.

Helfand's parents' decision to "re-side" their house with this seemingly benign cure-all for many suburban homes turns into a toxic odyssey with twists and turns that most ordinary homeowners would never dare to take.

This incredible journey follows the lifecycle of vinyl from Long Island, NY, to Mardi Gras in Lake Charles, Louisiana, to a vinyl community in Venice, Italy. Along the way, learn how much our reliance on vinyl (a.k.a. PVC plastic) could be costing communities, workers, children, our health and the environment.
