"Environmental problems are becoming an increasingly global issue, which is clearly illustrated in this film..." Ola Ullsten, Swedish Ambassador in Rome

A wake-up call from Europe documenting the deadly effect of smokestack emissions on forests not only in Eastern Europe but also in Great Britain, Sweden, and the Netherlands.
EMISSIONS AND EMOTIONS focuses on the ecological crisis resulting from industrial pollution generated in the area known as Death Triangle. This is the border area between Poland, Czechoslovakia and the former East Germany. Magnificent forests across Europe have been transformed into a lifeless environment, and rapid soil erosion is creating a desert-like environment.
This documentary, one of the first to offer a pan-European perspective, points out that a crisis of this magnitude cannot be dealt with in an isolated approach by individual nations.
