Experiencing Interruptions?

Pandemonium

With the world in a pandemic, pharmaceuticals have exploded in production and have become a part of our daily lives - even more so than they already were. What most people do not know, however, is that they come with a cruel price - they are destroying the environment incessantly from the ecological mayhem they cause. So, exactly how many populations of birds and fish have we wiped out from our usage and manufacturing of drugs? And, more importantly - what can we do to curb pharmaceutical pollution before it causes another faunal tragedy?

These and many more are the questions that the short investigative film 'Pandemonium' explores.
