One Click

Two similar yet unrelated deaths in different parts of the country lead to the same agonizing conclusion -- cause of death unknown. Eventually, both cases reveal a gruesome truth: an obsession with weight loss led them, and many others, to be cooked alive from the inside.

Welcome to season 1 of One Click, a limited documentary podcast series from C13Originals, in association with The Vespucci Group, narrated by Elle Fanning. This series explores how a single click can change a life forever. This season, One Click tells the story of DNP (2,4-dinitrophenol), an explosive chemical originally used in WWI-era munitions factories that found a home on the internet as a diet pill and has left hundreds dead in its wake. Together, actress Elle Fanning and journalist Jessica Wapner, trace the history of DNP and reckon with the question of why. Through the story of DNP and its victims, we encounter issues of body image and mental health as the series unravels the chain of events that could lead to one fatal decision.
