Watch Online / For Export Only: Pesticides (TV Movie 1981)
Desc: For Export Only: Pesticides: Directed by Robert Richter. With Robert Richter. Prohibited and restricted agricultural products sold without proper information. Documents the "circle of poison" of banned and restricted pesticides used on products we import, such as coffee, bananas and cotton. A fishing village in Ghana shines through as an example of both problem and solution. The first national PBS telecast created an international sensation. United Nations delegates who saw the program demanded an end to the practices documented; this led to an international monitoring system. It is a rare example of a documentary that truly made a difference. * Distinguished Science Reporting Award - American Association for the Advancement of Science * DuPont Columbia Broadcast Journalism Award (TV's Pulitzer Prize)
