Hollywood is a greedy company. Disney, Paramount, WarnerBros..etc are greedy companies. People die doing stunts in movies. The environment is harmed when movies use GIGANTIC amounts of water to film scenes under water or to imitate rain, the environment is harmed when movies stage explosions for action sequences. It's all just hypocrites, and you're too dumb to realize that cause you follow celebs like sheep. Mark Ruffalo is a millionaire due to reading what other write on screen, he's gonna make even more millions with this movie, and more millions to GREEDY COMPANIES (movie studious).

Stock price. I haven't seen the film yet but I know the story. When Dupont was taken to court they lost some share price. But because of the clauses in the level of fines kept them from any serious financial punishment. This judgement actually saw their share price rise. Their guilt actually made them stronger. The system is rigged to help the business and not the employee.

It is way worse because the PFOA chemical family is only a small list of harmful stuff that we are exposed too. In America, if its not detectable or have immediate impact than it is ok to poison the public. I predict that in 25 years low level radiation from cell phones will be the next big lawsuit (25 years for the victims to have direct evidence). Those harmed the most will be those that have a cell tower near their work or living area. The 5G in some countries is not being adopted for health reasons, although industry will deny. Again the harm is not easily detected, so it is ok to poison others because they won't know.

PARKERSBURG, WV (not Parkersville). And I am laughing hysterically that DuPont actually released a formal statement claiming to be mindful of their employee's health. My mother worked at the Washington Works plant in Parkersburg, WV from 1989-2008 before she was forced out on disability at the ripe age of 44. She was never given proper protective wear while working in both Teflon and Butacite and when she went out on retirement in '08 she was literally raking C8 into a separate distilling silo so that it would not be put out into the water, covered in it once her shift was finished. Years later, she has been diagnosed with breast cancer, thyroid issues, degenerative discs, etc. DuPont is corporate evil at it's highest peak. Disgusting and inhumane.

I don't usually watch movies, but I'm going to the theaters to support this because everyone involved was very brave in fighting this evil corp. Also I'm so glad my mom never let us use teflon. We had our egg get stuck to our pan and cleanup was difficult but at least it was safer.

[@jesusgeek7680]

Thank you mark for sticking up for us and using your platform for good!!!! We love you

[@juliannbeepot5900]

This is just disgusting! How can someone with so much money and power be so cruel to innocent human beings😕 I’m glad Mark came out with the truth in this movie and never gave up🙏🏻❤️

[@zoemorgan5501]

Without this movie, I would never have know about the toxic chemicals in my cookware and now all of us, the environment, the world! The world needs to know about this!

[@eakherenow]

ABC running this story ! Amazing.YEAH,Ruffalo.

[@ThinkBlueAZ]

Everyone should see Dark Waters and also watch the documentary The Devil We Know on Netflix.

[@hetedeleambacht6608]

thank you

[@kaylariggs5188]

The devil we know is available on KZbin! (There's also another series by the same/ similar name, not sure which platform, so be mindful of that when searching it)

[@lisasmith9921]

We have a Dupont right down the street from us here in Pennsgrove New Jersey and it's next to the Delaware river. We have a lot of liver and kidney cancer around here. I moved away for a few years but my sister told me they got a $60 check from them.

[@sshah5893]

Amazing and courageous work by Mark and Rob👏👏👏

[@bunkertons]

The fact that they haven't admitted wrong doing AND they haven't been charged with a criminal offense is disgusting.

[@rodneyseverson8409]

When I heard about the danger's of Teflon, I threw my pan away...And the eggs tasted awful...How and why are these products still on the market?, how disgusting the EPA is worthless and people should sue them and Dupont... Glad to see Mark Ruffalo is this role...

[@chinookvalley]

Rodney, and people still love their DuPont Teflon coated pots and pans. Some just would rather not believe there is a problem. Maybe. IF. They watch the movie it will change their minds. Maybe.

[@JaylenMcCorquodale-n4e]

Excellent film.

[@capicuaaa]

F Dupont! The movie brought me to tears several times... Tears of sadness for what companies like Dupont have done to the planet and all its creatures... PFOA is in the blood of ALL living beings (not just humans)...What have we done to our home and its fellow inhabitants?...

[@harryisamuggle]

Saw this film today, went to my kitchen and threw out my Teflon pan. Why is our govt not protecting us?! How is DuPont still running!

[@Altysha8]

Thank you Mr. Ruffalo!

[@Jjjkluejnek]

Those in charge of Dupont should be in jail let alone to keep all of their wealth.

[@zuecatsy4081]

Loved this movie 🎥 it actually teaches you something and I’m glad they’re bringing back this topic we people seem to forget easy hopefully someone can stop this big chemical companies it’s sad that there was no justice at the end since their still operating

Great lawyer, great actor, a movie you definitely must watch! Never give up my biggest respect to Rob Bilott for his lifework which is still going on

The greatest movie I've ever seen. God bless every single one of these heroes. I hate corporations and will forever hate corporations. Purdue and DuPont been criminals. All corporations care about is numbers not humans. Rob you sir are a true hero. Born and raised in Columbus and I never knew about any of this.

[@thelaughindustry773]

Making them pay fines is bullshit. They made a billion dollars a year off the misery of millions. They should serve jailtime for this.

[@chinookvalley]

TheLaugh Make them drink the water, and bathe in it, and have their meals prepared with Teflon, and... do this to them while they are in a very dark and miserable prison. Then make sure the same is done to their children, and their children. Making up for 40 years. People are STILL using Teflon. Ain't right.

[@janvanzelm9348]

I read the statement of Dupont (USA) I assume... "It happened years ago.." So what? It's still there, after all these years. Moved this industry abroad. Ís that The Netherlands, at the Dordrecht DuPont/Chemours location. The news there is booming. Booming right nów.., might be tomorrow (23 Januari 2020) at the premiere of the movie ÍN Dordrecht - the movie "Dark Waters".

[@sapnasahil543]

Amazing movie a must watch for everyone.

[@melissamelton39]

many thanks to mark ruffalo for doing this movie & becoming involved with what its all about. i live in nc very close to one of the dupont plants, although they're under another name now but nothing else has changed. we got in, along with many others, on the class action lawsuit that is being handled by just one firm, or so i've been told anyway. and crazy as it sounds, they don't plan to pursue any claims for any of the illnesses that could have been caused by the toxin & i had to have a mastectomy from having breast cancer a couple of years ago & it dsnt even run in my family. so far any other attorny's i've contacted just refer me to that same law firm that is also located on the other side of the country by the way. companies like dupont just make way too much money off all their products to give a rats ass about the people their shit is infecting so they just keep making their payoffs to the government & whoever else they have to pay off along the way because its money they don't even miss.

[@Unicyclemom]

Noone I know in the area ever recieved any compensation or offer for it.

The EPA is expected to sign off on four new chemicals in the PFAS family, even as concerns mount about their devastating health effects.

[@robertoc.j.5563]

Everyone should be aware of the impact of forever chemicals and what products have them or not so we can choose to avoid them whenever possible.
