This documentary had like 2.5 stars.
I gave it 5 and recommend you do to, because it tells you what to take out of your house as far as chemical cleaners and body products, then it tells you how to make your own natural replacements. It is narrated by Johnboy Wlaton too 

[Hanzel]

watching it now

[Hanzel]

i feel asleep but what i saw was good .. will try again maybe tonight to watch the rest

[Hanzel]

I don't think that is john boy, sounds like him.  Trying to find out

Went back and looked at the ending credits.  Does not list the narrator but he does speak Canadian English and not American or Texas English.  I think it is the directors voice

I watched it and it was decent.  I think they could have done a lot more with it.  The family they chose wasn't the best one to draw in the audience.

This show is the last piece to get me moving to get rid of some of the chemicals in my life.

I think it was good to show how to do it, FYI, the Queen washed dished in the dishwasher with her homemade laundy soad and she was very happy with the results. That will save us a lot of money and be great for our sewer treatment system

[Hanzel]

one thing i thought was funny.  borox, their safe wonder cleaner is a poison to humans

[Johnny-Max]

So is alcohol and I drink right out of the bottle

Homemade Laundry Soap Starter Set

~ Basic Recipe ~
Ingredients:*
1/3 bar Fels-Naptha soap, grated
1/2 cup washing soda
1/2 cup borax

* Amount of ingredients may be adjusted depending on your own preference. For
example, some people prefer to use 1/2 bar of Fels-Naptha instead of 1/3 bar, etc.

Instructions:
1. On your stovetop, place grated soap in a large pan with 6 cups of water and heat until
the soap melts.

2. Add washing soda and borax and stir until dissolved. Remove from heat.

3. Pour 4 cups hot water into the 4-gallon bucket. Add soap mixture and stir well, then
add 1 gallon plus 6 cups of water and stir again until mixed well.

4. Let the soap sit for about 24 hours; it will congeal into a gel.

5. Stir the soap before each use. Use ½ cup per load (a little more or a little less
depending upon how soiled your laundry is).

Makes 1 batch = approx. 2 gallons (64 loads). Recipe may be doubled.

Please note: This is a low-sudsing soap, so you will not see bubbles or suds in the water.
The suds aren't what do the cleaning – it's the ingredients!

Scented Soap: You may scent your laundry soap if desired; use 1/2-1 oz essential oil or
fragrance oil. DO NOT use soap scents as they will ruin your batch.

I'm doing this probably tomorrow.  I have to take the son to Tae Kwon Do this evening, so no time.
