The program is well worth watching. I did a search at TV guide and the next time it will be replayed in my area is the 13th. Below is what TV guide says about it. If anyone decides to watch it they will get a better understanding why the smokestack industries make almost all of their campaign contributions to the Republican party and how they have hidden things from the public.
The last half hour of the program is a talk between Moyers and 1 person who opposes the chemical industries activities on one side of the table and a representatives of the industry and his lawyer on the other side.

Trade Secrets: A Moyers Report
120 min.
In the last 50 years, the chemical industry has introduced some 75,000 synthetic substances. This represents both “a chemical revolution” and a “steady invisible barrage” of chemicals into our bodies, correspondent Bill Moyers says. And, he contends, many of those chemicals haven't been thoroughly tested.
In this report and panel discussion (which were still being edited at press time), Moyers examines chemical-industry archives and case studies, and talks to scientists, historians, lawyers and public-health officials. He also has himself tested to see just what chemicals are in his body. The results: a “cocktail” of PCBs, dioxins and DDT.
