Throughout the process of making 'In Our Blood: The Forever Chemicals Scandal', our key question was whether this known environmental scandal was also a human health scandal.

Listen to my conversation with Martha Elwell, the director of the documentary, on the Eco Chamber Podcast to hear us discuss the behind the scenes of making this film.

You can also watch the full documentary on ITVX now!

Last Sunday, ITV broadcast 'In Our Blood: The Forever Chemicals Scandal' - a new documentary produced in collaboration with The ENDS Report exposing the "alarming" levels of PFAS in the blood of residents in the small rural Yorkshire town of Bentham.
