The film deals with the technical, medical, social, and political backgrounds of aerotoxic syndrome, which it portrays as a critical and controversial topic in aviation. It especially focuses on the analysis and scientific results of the forensic-pathological research conducted on the body of British pilot Richard M. Westgate,[1] who before his death sought medical care for symptoms that he attributed to aerotoxic syndrome.[2]

The world premiere took place on July 15, 2015, at the Babylon Cinema in Berlin. It was followed by a discussion with politicians, medical and legal experts as well as union representatives.[3]

On October 12, 2015, the film was awarded "best documentary feature film" at the 2015 Great Lakes International Film Festival.[4]
