The film toured the United States in the summer of 2013, with screenings scheduled for San Francisco on July 11, Chicago on July 24, and Austin, Texas, on August 24.[3]

Reception

Unacceptable Levels received several film festival awards, including Health & Environment Film Prize at the 30th International Environmental Film Festival in Paris, a special jury prize at the 2012 Yosemite International Film Festival and the PlayItFwd Award at the 2012 FILManthropy Festival.[4]

Geoff Berkshire in Variety writes the film "marries folksy astonishment and alarmist speculation in a documentary far too easy to dismiss."[5] Robert Abele of the Los Angeles Times called it "an appropriately feel-bad offering for discerning environmental paranoids."[6]
