As soon as I heard the DuPont company, I was reminded of the DuPont analysis system I learned when I was studying. The results were carefully checked and it was really the same DuPont company. The story is still told from the chemical pollution. At the beginning, DuPont knows that the chemical C-8 is harmful to the human body, but it is still used in all aspects of life, and it has caused water pollution and caused cancer in large areas of residents. This is basically It is the fact that the iron and steel evidence is overwhelming, so naked and without the slightest hesitation displayed. But even in such a situation, DuPont still denied it in every possible way. First, it refused to cooperate with the investigation and deliberately concealed relevant evidence. Then, when the evidence was conclusive, it jointly issued a harmless opinion with the environmental protection department, and finally it was a delay. The way to prevent compensation, under the premise that the medical certificate has been clear, directly refused the class action compensation, trying to use time and energy to drag down the lawsuit. In the end, the film still used more than 3,000 lawsuits to obtain compensation with difficulty, and the time span was close to 20 years. Said it was a very long process. This shows the arrogance of such a huge power as DuPont, the difficulty for investigators to collect evidence, and the misfortune of innocent residents. This kind of silent oppression makes people feel hopeless and powerless. Judging from the above hardships, it is even more difficult to see that it is not easy for litigator Robert Bilot. In today's very convenient society, are there still commonly used things but there may be some hidden problems? Someone will reveal it, which is a question worth pondering. How to objectively look at deeper issues such as economic development and environmental protection, economic interests, and life and health may need to be balanced and paid attention to in the future. The movie as a whole is pretty good.
