The film Homesick, now in post-production, is the first documentation of the long-term impact of healthier housing on people with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity.
Letter to the Editor by Susan Abod, filmmaker.

I’m excited to report that I’ve launched a campaign on Indegogo to fund the post production for my documentary film on MCS and housing “Homesick”– many years in the making.

Info from Susan Abod’s website:
To film Homesick, Susan hit the road with her camerawoman, learning how people around the country who live with MCS find safe housing. She interviewed people from all walks of life; their living quarters ranged from a house on stilts to tents and a teepee. Filmed over a period of ten years, the film now includes follow-up interviews with the original subjects. The trailer has been screened at the Santa Fe Film Center and at the Santa Fe Center For Contemporary Art’s Megabytes 4 Festival, and has been viewed over 200,000 times on the Homesick website. Homesick is currently in post-production, with a 64-minute rough cut. We’re almost there, but we need $6,000 to record the soundtrack and complete the post-production for the film. We need your help for Susan to complete her epic journey!
WHY YOU SHOULD CARE
Homesick gives a human face to a growing environmental peril, and it is the first documentation of the long-term impact of healthier housing on people with MCS. Safe, healthy housing is the primary health-care need of people living with MCS. It’s almost inevitable that anyone with significant chemical sensitivities will be either homeless or live in substandard housing at some point. Many people become homeless while searching for safe housing, and more than a few commit suicide as a direct result of not having access to safe housing. Finding or creating a safe home environment is extremely challenging, since most people with MCS have had to stop working and have limited financial resources. The impact of this film is not limited to those who suffer from MCS, because unhealthy housing affects us all. Lives may be lost if we do not finish this film.
