In an interconnected global village, where does the sewage go - and what does it do when it gets there? This film by Jeff McKay explores the part of modern society no one wants to talk about; the hazardous wastes flushed through our sewers. The ancient R oman Cloaca Maxima, sewage practices and health risks, chemicals, solvents, human waste, food, heavy metals and the food chain are reviewed. Waste disposal alternatives are also considered. Narrator Ruth DeGraves. National Film Board of Canada. Closed ca ptioned.
