Stink! , John Whelan

STINK! is a new feature documentary that presents consumers with crucial information on how seemingly safe, everyday products can contain undisclosed chemicals linked to cancer and fertility issues.

After purchasing brand new pajamas for his young daughters as a Christmas gift, single father Jon Whelan is troubled when opening the packaging releases a foul odor.

Determined to uncover the source of this mysterious stench and whether it poses a health risk to his daughters, Whelan quickly discovers that manufacturers and retailers in the U.S. have no obligation to reveal chemicals used in their products, even if those chemicals can cause cancer, birth defects and reproductive damage.

Journeying from retailers and manufacturers to corporate boardrooms and the halls of Congress, Whelan clashes with political and corporate operatives all trying to protect the darkest secrets of the chemical industry.

Directed by Jon Whelan, STINK! opens in New York on Black Friday, November 27 and Los Angeles of December 4, before expanding to additional markets.
