Dark Waters is a 2019 American legal thriller film directed by Todd Haynes and written by Mario Correa and Matthew Michael Carnahan. The film is based on the 2016 New York Times Magazine article "The Lawyer Who Became DuPont's Worst Nightmare" by Nathaniel Rich. Parts of the story were also reported by Mariah Blake, whose 2015 article "Welcome to Beautiful Parkersburg, West Virginia" was a National Magazine Award finalist, and Sharon Lerner, whose series "Bad Chemistry" ran in The Intercept. Bilott also wrote a memoir, Exposure, detailing his 20-year legal battle against DuPont. Dark Waters had a limited theatrical release on November 22, 2019, by Focus Features, and went wide on December 6, 2019. The film received positive reviews from critics and has grossed $21 million.

Let me say right up front that this film is somewhat difficult to watch in a way that you just can’t stop. It’s well done and covers an enormous amount of information as it make its way to an amazing conclusion.

It is a somewhat scary movie because it really happened and stretched into recent times. It brings to life issues about self-regulation, big-business and medical disasters. The cover up is on a scale that you can’t imagine. You will just be amazed and angry at the same time as you live thru the story.

I can honestly say many of you will be uncomfortably surprised about one of the most well-known brands in the world (that DuPont owns) and the terrible secret behind it. Since the name is not mentioned in the previews, I won't spoil it. I can assure you that we’ve ALL heard of it and after seeing the closing credits will have to come to the realization that this is VERY real for all of us.

Don’t miss this one!
