Sue Williams is a New York-based documentary filmmaker. Her new film, Death by Design, takes a sobering look at the electronics industry and it’s toxic environmental legacy — both here in the US and in China.
The film starts in Silicon Valley, which has a horrible record of environmental pollution. The industry appears to be nice and clean, but has a long and toxic history of environmental damage. Silicon Valley is home to the most Superfund cleanup sites in the country.
And now that the industry has offshored most of its manufacturing overseas, the environmental problems have been exported right along with it.
Currently touring film festivals around the world, Death by Design is a sobering, behind the scenes look at the cost of the devices we so consume in some measure of ignorance.
