This film recounts real events whereby the giant American chemical company Dupont knowingly poisoned members of the public for decades in order to make money. Alas, this corporate attitude that people are dispensable and less important than profits is one which has been going on for too long now. Big Tobacco killed millions and did not care a damn. Will this kind of thing ever stop? It took eleven years for a determined lawyer, portrayed by Mark Ruffalo, to prove Dupont's culpability. He didn't give up. Most people do, and that was what Dupont was counting on. I myself have spent years fighting a major chemical company, in my case a German one, which is much larger and richer than Dupont. I won. But I know how this kind of thing works. I gave many a sigh of recognition as I watched this terrible tale unroll before my eyes. The film should be seen by everybody because there is no point anyone being ignorant of what goes on in the real world. Unless we are all going to resign ourselves to being permanent victims, then we have to stand up for ourselves. Those who keep their heads buried in the sand can only eat sand. See the film. Learn.
