you got that right!!!! we use to fish over in williamstown wv and on the ohio side. ive caught some that had yellow sores all over their bodies. .. and as far as swimming in the river, no... they say its ok to drink the water but we tested the water and showed high levels of toxins.... its not wise to trust the city and drink the water. . even if it is ok, i know what is in the water by testing it. when your pregnant, they tell you at the WIC office to not eat the fish out of the river because of the high levels of mercury... so i guess you can drink the water if you want from the tap, but we choose not to. . the water is bad here but worse in west virginia, so like i said im so glad this movie was made. . open some eyes i hope 🙂

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.

Dupont made the new chemical Gen-X which is a successor to PFOA (aka C-8) and released it under their spin off company called Chemours. The Gen-X chemical shows the same toxicity and traits as its predecessor and is also being used in a wide range of products which includes some of those in the home.

'American Exceptionalism' Our Corporations have partnered with the Grim Reaper for too long.

[@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!

[@bunkertons]

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

[@jesusgeek7680]

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

[@marz6823]

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.

[@Jjjkluejnek]

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

[@michellecheriekjv4115]

Great movie...opened my eyes...and they are "still" selling it....

[@KeithCindyPanama]

it’s disgusting how companies don’t own up to their mistakes and make compensation:(

[@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.

[@talksickgamer]

@@chinookvalley haven’t companies stopped using PFOA in Teflon?

[@faaug]

I still cannot believe how this movie did not get any more awards buzz specially for Mark Ruffalo’s heartbreaking, powerful and outstanding performance.

[@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.

[@JaylenMcCorquodale-n4e]

Excellent film.

[@eakherenow]

ABC running this story ! Amazing.YEAH,Ruffalo.

[@freedomrings.0007]

If you want to see real changes. Changes that we need but won't effect our pockets negatively. Rfk Jr is your guy. Stop listening to other people tell you who he is. Go listen to him for yourself. It's these big corporations that are behind the slander against him.

[@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!

[@sshah5893]

Amazing and courageous work by Mark and Rob👏👏👏

[@McVilla1N]

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.

[@giants416]

I thought it was gamma radiation that caused Bruce Banner to metamorphosize into the Hulk ...turns out it was Teflon

[@Unicyclemom]

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

[@mpfromdaov]

ABC News, did you mean ParkersBURG, WV? I am not familiar with a “Parkersville” in WV.

[@shadowspark]

If you haven’t watched, I highly recommend you do. It’s a very enthralling, realistic, heart-breaking story with top-notch acting from Mark and all the cast.

[@iliketrains263]

Watched it last night. Was so good and enlightening. I highly recommend. I was skeptical about Ruffalo carrying a film himself but he did good and subject if story is great. I think everyone should see it

[@justinhardman9698]

As a Parkersburg native it isn’t popular to talk down on DuPont seeing as it’s the one of best paying jobs in the area . You have two sides . The side for DuPont who don’t take this seriously and those that do .

[@bryannamunoz5911]

It’s Parkersburg not Parkersville

[@Fifareal1986]

This movie was Spectacular 🙌💯

[@MrsJedmo]

I just found this out and today 2024 c8 is listed as an ingredient in my mascara! This should be outlawed already 😢

[@alexo82191]

This movie is a great story. I highly recommended

[@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.

[@crashhhhhhh3068]

7.5M subscribers and only 67k views on a subject this huge. Strange.

[@toni0555]

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

[@curtisrowell2018]

Great movie!!! Mark did a great job!!! This movie has me doing research now

[@AllThingsConsidered333]

Similar to Erin Brokovich- another excellent movie documenting real life events and people. Erin Brokovich is still very active defending people and their right to clean water in their communities

[@nickiekovaleski2734]

Thank You to this Faithful Attorney for Standing up for all Wv Citizens Shame on Dupont for Poisoning us !!!!!

[@sao_rav]

Thanks to ABC news for taking this seriously. It is very important, every human being has the right to know about this. Every single being in the world.

[@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

[@hetedeleambacht6608]

i m seriously thinking about giving lectures about this to schools, companies...civilian meeting places...in my country there s great pollution but the people are very ...sedated ...like they don `t get into action mode

[@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".

[@M4NA5]

Saw this movie last night. Criminally underrated.

[@alporythmic351]

Cast Iron frying pan sales should soar if enough clicks on this site occur.

[@w.cooksy421]

One person really can make a difference against a greater force. With the multitude of environmental crises we're facing in the U.S., we need more people to take the same kind of risks Rob Bilott took to correct these issues.

[@Altysha8]

Thank you Mr. Ruffalo!

[@godswillbdone]

Just watched this movie ,this is what we are fighting against in this country and around the world. So deep and eye opening, people have to stand together in order to protect ourselves from these Corporate giants.

[@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.

[@Unicyclemom]

Born with unexplainable heart problems and pain. Growing up in parkersburg. My grandfather helped build the plant. Retired from there and my father worked summers while in college to become a dentist. My cousins and family are all affected. Born with rare health conditions and more recently getting severe headaches. We have seen abnormal amounts of albino deer, raccoon, coyotes, rabbits etc living within a mile or two of the plant. Please take this serious my family is dying and I am suffering everyday from this scandal. So many people being lied to. We were told it was safe to drink and breath when it never really was. My grandma doed of blood cancer in her 50s. I could go on and on about the mental impacts in the community. The violent crime rise, the severe disfigurement and heart attacks in my elementary school.

[@Unicyclemom]

@InfoDope yes it highlights the shame of the american experiment I suppose. #2 seed producer in the world is now dupont crop science. Just food for thought. My cousins ribs go out of place when she coughs or sneezes and her eyes retinas detached from the muscles at around 8yrs old in little hocking ohio. Across the river from the plant

I was born in Parkersburg grew up 2 1/2 miles down river from Dupont. Little known fact, the scout master tried to tell people about the chemicals. Everyone thought he was crazy.

[@deborahkelly1948]

Why is it that the truth tellers are always crazy until they are proven right?
