Toms River, a small town on the Atlantic coast of New Jersey, is one of the most polluted places in America thanks to the illegal dump of chemical corporation Union Carbide and the toxic waste of Swiss multinational Ciba, which was set up in that area in the early '50s and closed down in 1996. In the early '80s researchers found out that the rate of cancer among children was higher by 30% than the American average rate. The documentary follows the battle fought in the past 2 years by some families struck by the disease. Documents and witnesses' reports raise disquieting questions on the Swiss chemical company.

Mario Casella, journalist, has been producing TSI weekly programme Magazine since January 2001. From 1989 to 1997 he realized reports and documentaries for TSI news programmes.
Bernard Rappaz, journalist, joined TSI in 1992 and has been working as a Washington correspondent since 1997. Since May 2001 he has been chief editor of TSI on line, which started effectively in August 2001.
