Description
For the increasing number of people who are suffering from environmental illnesses, the modern world is full of unseen threats. Pesticides, perfumes, cell phones—any of these can send these individuals into a debilitating downward spiral. Stunningly cinematic, THE SENSITIVES documents three families struggling with these issues. Joe, too sick to care for himself, faces an impossible choice: an uncertain future with his ever-burdened family or the lure of a safe community built for sensitives like him. Twin brothers Sam and Nathan live with their mother, Karen, inside a sterilized safe home they haven’t left in years but a tragedy causes upheaval and uprooting in their fragile existence. And Susie, who decamped from society for a remote desert homestead decades ago, has finally found relief but contemplates leaving to advocate for awareness, risking her own health. Nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the **Tribeca Film Festival**. *"Xanthopoulos approaches the subject of being essentially allergic to modernity in a way that's refreshingly non-symbolic.."* - Adi Robertson, ***The Verge***
