Review: Reading Robert Bilott’s ‘Exposure’ on Du Pont’s chemical pollution in Parkersburg, West Virginia, the book gives a great deal of legal and personal background to the story which I first had revealed to me recently in the film Dark Waters - fine film, worthy of nominations this year of which it received none (go figure). In jumping the fence inside his corporate defence firm to take the plaintiff’s side of a lone farmer, Earl Tennant, against Du Pont, Robert Bilott uncovers an ugly story of corporate harm done to the community of Parkersburg and surrounding populations. The casual and arrogant ease with which this powerful corporation covered up major illness links (probable cause to major life threatening and altering conditions eventually found by a long independent exhaustive scientific study of nearly 70,000 people) which led to deaths from a ruined natural water supply in the area (Earl among those who died) in the pursuit of annual profit, for Teflon and other products, is as stunning as it was breathtaking. A jury finally found for a class action civil case against the company - who put up a fierce public relations & legal defence - the plaintiffs awarded a 670 million dollar settlement against Du Pont. Rob Bilott established that in working in tandem with weak and complicit authorities (EPA) to hide the facts of a chemical dumping program, Du Pont knowingly carried on its activities for years, abusing the basic trust its economic stranglehold over the small community provided them (they were the town's main employer). Fine study, a great and necessary read.
Review: Consiglio a tutti la lettura di questo Libro che racconta il grande impegno di un avvocato dinanzi ad una causa di grande portata Ecologista e a difesa della salute umana. Il film di riferimento disponibile anche sulle piattaforme video è Dark Waters.
