The Sedona International Film Festival is will present the one-night-only Northern Arizona premiere of “The Human Experiment” — a new film narrated and executive produced by Sean Penn.

The film’s co-director and Emmy Award-winning journalist, Don Hardy, will be in Sedona to host the film and have a
Q-and-A discussion with the audience after both screenings. The film will show Wednesday, April 15, at 4 and 7 p.m. at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

“The Human Experiment” lifts the veil on the shocking reality that thousands of untested chemicals are in our everyday products, our homes and inside of us.
Simultaneously, the prevalence of many diseases continues to rise.

The film tells the personal stories of people who believe their lives have been affected by chemicals and takes viewers to the frontlines as activists go head-to-head with the powerful and well-funded chemical industry. These activists bring to light a corrupt system that’s been hidden from consumers — until now.

“The Human Experiment” has been called “The Inconvenient Truth” … but about chemicals.

Boulder Weekly called it “a must see… It might just turn you into an activist.”
