'Invisible' tells the story of how man-made chemicals are building up in our bodies and being passed from mother to child. It is thought that these hormone-disrupting substances are affecting the reproductive systems and neurological health of animals and humans across the planet.

This film leads us on a hypnotic journey to the high Arctic. Using medieval texts and maps to question hierarchies of knowledge, the film shows the contemporary Inuit life, explores their traditional connection to the earth and stages dramatic tableaux vivant in landscapes of frozen sea.

Featuring the eminent environmental scientist Theo Colborn; the chair of the Inuit Circumpolar Conference Sheila Watt-Cloutier; and testimonies of Inuit mothers; the film resists the conventions of science documentaries and questions how we live in the world today.
