Dark Waters chronicles the true story of attorney Rob Bilott's 20-year battle against chemical giant DuPont. After discovering DuPont's toxic dumping of C8, a harmful chemical, in West Virginia, Bilott fought to expose the company's negligence and the widespread contamination of local communities. Through his relentless pursuit of justice, Bilott helped shed light on the dangers of PFAS chemicals and their far-reaching environmental impact.
