🧠Jenell Johnson

👁The dark history of arsenic
🧠Neil Bradbury
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣No substance has been as constant an ally to insidious scheming as arsenic, the so-called “king of poisons.” In its chemically pure form, it isn’t much of a threat because our bodies don’t absorb it well; it’s when arsenic combines with other elements that things get dangerous. So, how did this substance become such a popular poison? Neil Bradbury digs into the element's sordid and lethal history. [Directed by Luisa Holanda, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Gabriel Maia].
