WATCH EHT’s Q&A WITH “MISLEAD” DIRECTOR AND PRODUCER TAMARA RUBIN

About “MisLEAD: America’s Secret Epidemic”

“MisLEAD: America’s Secret Epidemic” is a documentary feature film examining the crisis of childhood lead poisoning in the United States today. The film includes interviews with many of the top experts on the subject, who outline the disturbing history behind the genesis of this entirely preventable disease and challenge the entrenched myths surrounding its spread. The film ultimately reveals a picture that is squarely at odds with the official century-old, industry-written (government policy-endorsed) U.S. narrative that has resulted in what many in the medical community refer to as a hidden “epidemic” — one that continues to visit devastation upon children, families, and the U.S. economy, irrespective of race, socio-economic background, and geography. The film also explores the compelling stories of several families of lead-poisoned children across the country and how and why they are dealing with the effects.

National Lead Prevention Week is October 24-30, 2021.

Tamara Rubin is an internationally recognized, award-winning lead-poisoning prevention advocate and documentary ﬁlmmaker. She took on the cause of childhood lead poisoning after her own sons were poisoned by the work of a painting contractor in Portland, Oregon in 2005.

Tamara is committed to educating every parent about this wholly preventable environmental illness that causes permanent brain damage in young children yet still today conservatively costs the United States more than $50.9 billion annually! Through her advocacy work, Tamara has personally helped thousands of families create safer homes and environments for their children and continues to help families every single day.

Tamara began testing consumer goods for toxicants in 2009 and was the parent-advocate responsible for finding Lead in the popular fidget spinner toys in 2017.
