Dark Waters

In 1998, Robert Bilott, a corporate defense lawyer, investigates the deaths of dairy cattle at a farm in Parkersburg, West Virginia, connected to chemical manufacturer DuPont. As he delves deeper, Bilott discovers that DuPont has been dumping toxic chemicals, including PFOA, a substance linked to cancer and congenital disabilities, in a landfill near the farm. Bilott files a lawsuit, and after a decade-long battle, he and his team ultimately secure a $671 million settlement for the affected residents, who had suffered from illnesses caused by PFOA exposure.
