Sprayed

About This Movie

Sprayed (2017) is a fascinating dive into the complex interplay between community and government actions, especially when it comes to aerial spraying. The film weaves together various case studies—from the controversial Naled sprays in Miami targeting Zika to the broader implications of Agent Orange during the Vietnam War. It’s not just about the chemicals themselves, but the human stories that emerge from these decisions, creating a palpable sense of unease. The pacing is steady, allowing the weight of each narrative to settle in. The tone is somber, occasionally veering into unsettling territory as it forces viewers to confront the consequences of these seemingly necessary interventions. There’s an urgency in the atmosphere, and it’s the personal testimonies that really stick with you, making it distinctive in the documentary genre.
