I see from the article that DuPont was a former owner of the plant in Louisiana. As a reminder, the movie Dark Waters is set for national release on Dec. 6 about the West Virginia DuPont plant’s contamination of the ground water and the lawyer who fought the battle- played by Mark Ruffalo, so how can you go wrong? 😀
If you haven’t seen the investigative documentary The Devil We Know about the same issue, it’s well worth watching on Netflix to see the astounding purpose with which the citizens rally to get an investigation started and keep it going. Plus it provides some background info that may not be in the movie since one seems to focus on the town and it’s people and the other the lawyer.
I very seldom post, daily reader though, but I grew up in the shadow of a DuPont plant and have relatives who worked there.
Happy Monday all 👋
