A tenacious attorney uncovers a dark secret that connects a growing number of unexplained deaths to one of the world's largest corporations. In the process, he risks everything — his future, his family, and his own life — to expose the truth.
DuPont tries to convince the public and the lawyers challenging them that the dangerous chemicals they are releasing into the environment are harmless, despite them having uncovered evidence suggesting otherwise
Dupont's poisoning of the water in a West Virginia community resulted in many farm animals dying. The film has scenes of cows either dead or in distress. One especially sad scene has a farmer who has to shoot one of his beloved cows who has been driven to dementia from the chemical poisoning.
DuPont knowingly lets many animals (pets and farm animals) drink from water with dangerous chemicals in it. A farmer shoots one of his cows after it becomes ill.
At 23 minutes a cow is shot because it attacks the farmer. The farmer approaches the (presumably dead) cow and it lunges back up at the farmer and he fires another shot in panic. Mild to moderate jump.
Several characters (and animals) develop or die from various cancers as a result of chemical poisoning. In some cases, cancerous growths and physical effects of cancer are shown.
Character is shown in an MRI machine. Discussion between a doctor, family, and friend in a hallway. People are shown in a clinic preparing to give blood.
Rob isn't hospitalized because of anxiety as the other comment suggests, it's because of seizure-like symptoms (the doctors were never able to diagnose a specific condition)
No, although there is a scene in a hospital implied to take place shortly after a baby is born in which the father anxiously enquires about the baby's health (baby is fine)
Robert Bilott won the case against DuPont, however text on the screen at the end explains that more unregulated and dangerous "forever chemicals" have since been discovered, and Robert and other lawyers and environmental activists are continuing the fight to get them all regulated.
