“For Erin Brockovich enthusiasts, a David vs. Goliath story having a twist.” —THE BRAND NEW York Instances Book Review

The storyplot that inspired the main film Dark Waters, starring Mark Ruffalo as Robert Bilott.

In 1998, Rob Bilott began a legal battle against DuPont that could consume another twenty years of his life, uncovering the most severe case of environmental contamination in contemporary history and a corporate cover-up that put the fitness of hundreds of thousands of people at risk. Representing a single about Publicity: Poisoned Water, Commercial Greed, and One Lawyer’s Twenty-Year Fight Against DuPont farmer who was simply persuaded the creek on his property had been poisoned by runoff from a close by DuPont landfill, Rob ultimately discovers the truth about PFAS—unregulated, toxic chemicals used in the making of Teflon and a bunch of other household goods. DuPont’s personal scientists had issued internal warnings for a long time about the dangerous effects of PFAS on individual health, but the business continued to allow these chemicals to leach into general public normal water. Until Rob pressured them to handle the consequences.

Exposure is an unforgettable legal theatre about malice and manipulation, the failings of environmental regulation, and one lawyer’s quest to expose the reality concerning this previously unknown—and still unregulated—chemical that displays one of the biggest human health crises from the 21st century.
