Small lawyers fight big companies

#Watching "Black Water" Dark Water is one of the ten most worth watching foreign language films in 2020. By "Hulk" starring DuPont's little lawyer, Anne Hathaway plays the little lawyer's wife. While DuPont was producing Teflon for a big sale, it quietly buried toxic waste into the soil of a small town in West Virginia and leaked it. The farm's dairy cows began to contract the disease and died of more than 190 heads. The farmer suspected DuPont's factory. However, the environmental bureau who came to investigate said that he had mismanaged himself. The farmer went to find the little lawyer. DuPont threw a room of 50 years of information to the little lawyer, but the little lawyer really found the culprit---PFOA. Perfluorooctanoic acid, the full name is PerfluorooctanoicAcid. Because there are 8 carbon atoms in a chain, it is called C8 internally at DuPont. PFOA was first invented by another chemical giant, 3M, and is most famously used for Teflon produced by DuPont. After struggling tenaciously for 17 years, the small lawyer finally made DuPont and other six companies stop producing and emitting PFOA in 2013, and completed the compensation in 2015. In the film, big companies wield the sword of capital, get government endorsements, make scientists defect, steal evidence, intimidate plaintiffs, and delay their repentance, making town residents and law firms that once supported small lawyers unable to hold back and want to give up and tear up small lawyers. lawyer!
