Netflix: :Dark Waters"

Excellent movie on the class-action suit brought against DuPont Chemical for their Human/environmental damages caused by PFOA-C8 , an unregualted chemical used in the creation of the Teflon coat.

Mark Ruffalo plays the lead role as the lawyer who batttled DuPont's legal army of lawyers and eventually won this huge case. Worth a watch.

lawyer he portrays, Rob Billot has a brief cameo in the film and did some media interviews about the corruption case. Thanks for posting.

Humans are a secondary concern to the prime corporate mandate: make money. "Better living (for some) through chemistry.".

Factual and disturbing.

Corporate greed over life.
