Never compromise

This film is mainly about a mother who has been divorced twice and has three children. After a traffic accident, she has no choice but to work in a law firm. One day, Ai Ling accidentally discovered some very suspicious medical needs. Documents, with the support of lawyers, Irene found that there was significant environmental pollution hidden in the local community, but the residents did not know it. Later, the residents were gradually moved by the protagonist and united to fight against the huge Pacific Electric Company. Irene also Became their core figure, neighbor George has been supporting in this incident, and finally got compensation with everyone's concerted help.

Before writing my thoughts, I would like to say that this is based on a true story.

First of all, the environmental pollution problem in the film is very serious. In order to save time and money, Pacific Electric Company directly put hexavalent chromium into the living water of residents, which caused all residents to suffer from diseases. This is a microcosm of the massive pollution of water resources today. When I think of my grandmother who lived in the countryside before and was forced to relocate her house due to the pollution of drinking water by a chemical plant, my heart is filled with emotion.

The film also told me the importance of cooperation. This is because all the more than 600 lawsuits were signed, so the complaint was successful. One fence has three outfits, and one hero has three gangs. This is the same reason.

What's more, the heroine in the film has suffered repeated blows in life, and has been mocked again and again by God, from the beauty queen of the year to the poor who have no money now. But he stood firm. He finally found out the truth about environmental pollution and received the highest compensation ever in a lawsuit in the United States.

In work and study, we often encounter some setbacks. We may not be able to counterattack and succeed, but we must at least return to the original state and "never compromise".
