Description
Exposure is a true story of a lawyer's unwavering fight against a powerful corporation. In 1998, Robert Bilott received a call from Earl Tennant, a farmer whose cattle were dying due to pollution in the creek on his property. The culprit was later revealed to be a chemical called PFOA, used in the manufacture of Teflon. As Bilott delved deeper into the case, he uncovered a shocking history of environmental pollution and cover-up by DuPont, one of the area's largest employers. With all the cards stacked against him, Bilott persevered, driven by his determination to expose the truth. The story that inspired the motion picture from Participant Media/Focus Features, starring Mark Ruffalo, Anne Hathaway, Bill Pullman, and Tim Robbins, directed by Todd Haynes. This is a gripping account of one man's courage in the face of overwhelming odds. The case against DuPont took two decades to build, but Bilott's persistence ultimately paid off. Exposure is a powerful tale of environmental justice and the human spirit's capacity for resilience.
