==================
Info on the film "The Story of Electronics" --
"The Story of Electronics" will be released on 11/9/2010. It explores the high-tech revolution's collateral damage -- 6 billion tons of e-waste and counting, poisoned workers and a public left holding the bill. Host Annie Leonard takes viewers from the
mines and factories where our gadgets begin to the horrific backyard recycling shops in China where many end up. The film concludes with a call for a green "race to the top" where designers compete to make long-lasting, toxic-free products that are fully and
easily recyclable.
