Dark Waters (2019)

Dark Waters tells the story of lawyer Rob Bilott’s multi-decade fight with DuPont over dumping toxic waste in water supplies across the United States.  If you’re not familiar with the case, I suggest first seeing the 2018 documentary, The Devil We Know.  While Dark Waters covers the same events over roughly the same timeline, I think it works better as a companion piece: a character study of the lead lawyer on the case, someone who the New York Times described as “DuPont’s worst nightmare”.

Here’s a link to the trailer of The Devil We Know.
