my name is daniel lomborg i'm a filmmaker and this has been my most challenging personal film really think that if that's going to be does that affect both ways not just on best on face time and in the end of the brave in south asia. a story of ordinary people fighting a global industry that's been getting away with mass murder. an industry protected by powerful politicians and the dolls starts in my small village in belgium. by the wonderful childhood this green paradise just opposite my home there's a big company. at dick's at an it. thousands of people who work there. my father worked at 2 as

a union man. i worked in the factory during the holidays so i could buy my 1st camera. effects at an it paid for houses food and my studies it brought a lot of prosperity to families in the region it was the unquestioned reality of my you. one day more than 50 years later an indian lawyer comes to my village. parents at the exit interview has a dark and hidden history buried in india. you run a factory in another country and you don't tell these people that it's unsafe you don't provide any of the safety equipment you dump asbestos like this and then you leave. as a huge rise in the use of asbestos in india and around 198-0008

increases a lot softly and that's because between 1980 and around 2004 i think as best as became pandemic. in europe. it takes it and it is a company that made us bestest products as best as is a mineral that can be mined like coal and you don't asbestos is made of 5 very smooth and you know one fiber of his best is actually contains millions of small fibers which cannot be seen with a naked eye not even through an ordinary microscope only what's come out. in the early fifty's as best as fiber mixed with cement was considered a miracle product that was meant to last for eternity. global in the home front we are fortunate in our industry and that expressed us and cement constitute what i call a perfect match. this miracle brother was used in the house

schools public buildings. even the european commission building brussels was back full of as best as products it became a booming business making the owners of it except to meet the ems and family one of the richest in belgium. in 1964 scientific research by american dr selek off proved that as best as it was legal. as a union man my father knew about this scientific proof he did his best to warn the workers but many of his colleagues became sick. inhaling as best as fibers can cause as bestows his lung cancer and measure tell your mom. breathing in these fibers for even short periods of time can cause cancer the symptoms of this cancer can take many years to develop 15 years sometimes 30 to 40 years and there is no

known cure. why didn't my father warn me about the dangers. why did he allow me to work in these deadly dust. just before he died he even told me to leave the matter all on for him as best us was a thing of the past. i decided to ignore his last wish and proof that the company he worked for is part of a worldwide in history that's causing death and destruction to this day. according to the world health organization officially more entry on their 1000 citizens are expected to die from as a tell yo ma by 2030 in the e.u. . eric is an

activist who founded a beaver an organization for victims of us best os but by my dad was a technical engineer he started working at hedren at any 1953 he developed mesothelioma which was diagnosed in brussels and he died 6 months later in 1970 i mean it's sort of what i said. but i had rock bottom ho. so one of my sons told me them if the doctor had told him that morning that evening he told me mom you have the same illnesses dad. and i mean my god you could. but i couldn't believe it it was incredible. to have quite a few weeks after does interview prince ross boss the way. she left behind 5 sons eric is the eldest. eric and his family

lived in the shadow of the factory was in the 5 brothers they exposed because of as best as in the environment. for them it was your house far from the company. you know just across the road from the factory entrance was 50 meters away. in a bathroom from the beds that loaded came in 100 meters away or we would take the kids to watch a nice little book. not only their experience but 2 of his brothers died of us business. so the shock for the moment each time we were just getting over our latest loss and bam more bad news hit us again so christmas is no longer the family gathering that it used to be. good for me good on the vote. before she died was refused compensation. and courageously started a lawsuit against

a texas internet. fully youngcare a family claims ethernet knew that his vest is dangerous and harmful to health but the company's lawyer says it and it did not know and was not at fault. if they did with the knowledge they had at that time a term that acted as could be expected from any normal industrial company in similar circumstances so they are not at fault here folks. at the exact turn its policy has always been to minimize the dangers of us best us . want to eat our lungs were created by god to breathe in fresh air from the our dead it from the sea side but they weren't created to breathe and dust big black males well when you got a special dose of that you get dust forming and that is definitely not a good thing because of how ever the research we have. down at the university of leviathan proves that even at the moment of sawing hardly any is best does is

released into the air and therefore the danger is almost 0. manager from the rest died overnight as best as related disease. in 1976 on the wrist became the president of the ai a. and lobbied hard to promote as best us. as best as in the environment is classified as an extremely low risk just like taking one beer per day. at the exit or net flourished and soon became a multinational company with factories in the netherlands friends being italy all over europe. many international as best as corporations who went bankrupt because of us best us victims lawsuits excedrin it took over factories from trouble to competitors and so they became a dominant world player. in 1981 in a meeting at 6 at an it had

a new opportunity to benefit from. fiber demand in developing countries is expected to continue to rise over the long term. i think saturn it soon acquires as best as factories in developing countries in africa south america and asia india and take center neat at 5 factories. one of these factories in kind more is well known to indian lawyer to blue smoke or to. the factories have been opened up yet to take advantage of black floors so while the why of why are you here so we're trying to bring a case here in belgium we've been trying to see the options but you know ortiz a coronation riggins it's for the court case against. e-text the parent

company saying that you knew very well when you were operating these factories that i spent elsewhere as a cost in a gentle yet you operate at these factories negligent all over a court case we were able to prove done since 963 didn't you so no way they can say when they were doing that in the ninety's until 2002 they cannot say that i didn't know and look at it it's everywhere. what's happened is nothing less than corporate homicide. if you made a decision that has cost the lives of people then you should be held accountable for it in a criminal court. i wanted to see time or myself but i was hesitating. i've been exposed to his business my whole life like most of my fellow jurors my lungs are affected. and i think my father would have warned me. not to go to india

. and. welcome to everything his face time. with with home all night texas is very nice and vice in the course of. the factory was built in the thirty's by an english company at xander need balls a company in 89 and named it everest. when as best as was banned in belgium in 98 at exeter need kept as best as production going until 2002. then they sold their business to an indian family. the current indian owners did not want us to film in

the factory. so we can see better from the top. of the local people took me into blue today rooftop which. is of them up on. the fed does one go about the cyclone and india. this brings also back memories you know it's all very similar even the roof of the factory is very similar. so many people work in the factory now. it is a. 250 people. and it runs 24 hours here create every day shifts night 3 i mean a 7 of 7. clearly see the sheets over there being piled up and not being taken himself and this factory is for the north so should be for sold anywhere in the north.

asbestos leaks and all the fact that they are the finest men cheat. which is the ones they use in india. he sells everything from south through toothpaste and sweets so he selling asbestos sheets with sweets. so what we know is that if i was a man and sheets off the sometimes thought to degrade we can even see it's already in these new sheets yeah at the edge of it it's already started degrading and and then the fibers will come out from not. if you go anywhere in india you'll see why this made me think of the kaiser's being a kind of strong building material that lasts for a long time but with tech tea from the sun it will take you from the rain. start to my ma you go to any good city you see hundreds and hundreds of tonnes of asbestos. since 997 when companies grows in the west the

consumption of us bestest products quadrupled in india. you to see it on a bird flu. shot struck while i was walking and i've heard of it during the test times all are often up there double boulders the boys. have done that. must be underground disparages one thing about this beggars from what i saw this work is from santa cruz which. my father said sometimes they made with water snowballs and yeah yeah yeah you do that this is being used in your kinds. but you didn't think any arts are there on the front. of the president and then you went home scratching the fence you know that. says my wife. i don't look never met. in my life and i sitting here now you had me direct that is called if i left ok beaman if my mother lived in the shadow of the factory. the houses built by the

factory for the workers are entirely constructed from us bestest sheets. the area they live on is known as the is best this compound. how you feel love about living in this house i'm become heavy cheating yourself and. one day i want to spend just a wired you have to live there you are hoping that. the job i was very happy. i used to do you just watch you then and then they can go on i used to enjoy and they don't they're in a classroom and on the other side of the fence there is waste weren't you worried about them you scored a vote on. separate and decide that they don't know the guy as whom is quite separate from them. well let's talk which anita i know nothing of because i never

knew of on the how long does this test bad news about me ending and the children didn't know either none don't know when you know which even the markers even on one i don't mind they would i'm not going to will you let it. go for. her i'm ready. i think. obviously asbestos crisis in the soil growth scrawling just business. this is the everest industry school over there got 400 students with a get a queen. 8 and 14 school with it as best as roof deck steward i got. to see the fibers for these new styles breaking down. not even any hope of them

saying no to the coming and going oh warnings through a little bit yeah it's just open like you know. when you just start 9298. $9298.00 so that's ethics ethics start yeah. but each case in belgium i got in touch with the canadian scientists and they did their survey they found that they were really think so because it's got me as a. as best as waste 6 terry under 600000 i just yeah. like just us best of spacetime going in the end possibly even to south asia. 600000 square meters is the equivalent of one on there done 20 football fields. people who are more than just letting go and when they start to bring to us as before do i look up to. ground with all the people living on the streets.

and with the both of them in the way you can see this if i were you have a very specific i can't just be at some to go on the meaning of even to go i was good to him again all over the living you may imagine welcoming visible to the world and you can when you're young you are totally special this is quite common to look at those live in response to now of course the art of nothing like the gun anyone and gun nut on a lot of them are going to do you know and not just the quality of his due diligence i was just visiting why are you unwilling to make your only houses here the point is these are all cool people yeah and they give the green but this land and you know they're not telling about the waste and as a consequence of building are not not come out they are out of this before making

this building they're not aware of this fact. here's the but as an international activist eric has gone to crime or to aid to battle with his legal case against it takes internet to be. ok. i need to see how bad it has been reproduced your goal to duplicate it looks like they did such a good job. went

out and the 4th the subset ruthless at the factory more than any time all in calcutta and in climates a lot on the korean modern sucked out and they opened another one and gnostic in 9595. you are telling me that even though they knew dad's as business was dangerous and they were going to stop you know forced to stop in belgium in 983 years before that deadline they opened up a new one the one i got they believe they have a thick skin and i thought that they could continue manufacturing asbestos knowing what they knew about the circumstances i specify a spray can diseases in your this is what what makes me mad and what makes me travel the world with the best stuff. you have hospitals use how many percent isn't

going to let anyone see and i know i'm shouting more but it is already national destroying viewpoint and because i can read through all body. when i walk i go from the un to up to the time. i become reduced. i know that my. little i. did know that over time. he should have been point 8 that's 2 liters point it should be should be here to go to 1.69 is doing these tactics i would give any man

disability or 30 percent 30. fifties fifty's when he did these physics you seem to. be also him or read his hands in drawings but. i'm going to end up and put in machine the situation of working with a rod as this is change when at that scale i was it's the same. thing one of them they provided us with helmets to protect our heads but it's only going to look ahead to the arctic the herds do not form at the top and loves to protect their lungs they could give habits. in a document of ethics internet of 81 be concrete it was important that the relevant home base standards should be applied to subsidiaries.

yet we discover that the standards were never applied and the reason why they were never applied is also to be found in the same document is best isn't held as you in most developing countries is not yet acute. i am the one that the body. inspired by his father who organize similar makeshift medical centers to blue started working in india as a volunteer by looking at the length of time that they were exposed to asbestos their only exposed to asbestos would have been to close but no merik. we need to find out when they are married to see when they were exposed. to help the people of crime or in the surrounding area with their medical documents and yet. the madness sorry it's strange to see this logo here in india if you leave off the everest you know it's as if i'm back home to the us. to.

go pick up a doctor cup us. next. time i'm here. i'm a surgeon i mean i was an associate professor i was a lecturer in the department i don't need money for what the patient medicine you can only earn money if you work for the company but if you work for the company you cannot diagnose occupational business so the only way you can do it if you don't want to work. i want to be who i'm suffering but i don't speak up in these otherwise i'll lose my job i think you know i have young daughters and a son who is studying if i don't work of knowing how will we survive kind of gaza and. they're going to know what i'm going in on the other source of employment the

even if they don't work every day and there was never that i mean it's like i used to live like them or i'm in their work in their work and they don't know what they were like media because they don't know money. so you have got a disability bus and they don't 60 present 60. s. in their voice loss of weight loss of every day in order to eat going to drink probably has got a lot of guilt and that as business he lives on the bubble of the moment there and he needs some proper treatment by standing actually for a medical doctor not to be able to leave him completely. in the early and.

it was made clear to me and my wife you know something. was not her. i want her to live with me for a. quarter of their lives you have to face it. everybody has to die. i mean basically not only did it does that feel also feels like everyone has this is what i would look like this is why i like. father joseph you have been priest here for all of this you already did if you burials players even this only one boy who doesn't know that the 9 years old from the 9 at the end. just died ya know cause we are building problem.

the fact is that bubbles i think youth thing they did not probably had a problem medical facility even for a daily checkup and the person who is going to wait is side then once it is to do is then only option left to me is that. and again there are no official scientific statistics in india. conservative estimates are that $100000.00 people are affected by asbestos related diseases in india every every day or every year but go in and record it it's already globally the largest. occupational disease asbestos sees globally and this is going to be replicated in this country it's going to be going to be the sun they are not some nonsense say involved in that it's not some. other play whatever but it has only ups and.

600 people visited the makeshift medical center. a number of people diagnosed with does distortions this 125. for his lawsuit against ethics enter in it to write it on all of their testimonies . but on most papers i can see the name it didn't say mistakes and for death period. there's no compensation right for that period there's no there's no compensation. then there. we would like to thank you for welcoming us your way of open your doors so we could talk with your we could meet your faces my mother she was 66 years old.

these bleak and she was mad. we trust that in turn leads they say didn't do us no dangerous but we realized that they lied. we told her that the polluters we'd be taken to justice and we'll pay for the cleanup there is nothing we can do for the people who passed away but we must be thinking about the future generation it starts down the it is compensation now turn it has got to pay yes. i'm going to find out i don't. have it in lady said for you know i'm going to make you. take it in things that d.s. not my hand you see and believe me off. i will i do a little break you on my a.t.v.

i mean i do need to be a bully no more desire we lead me on a month i'm a new woman and after that i meet on great not only made up of we're doing normal and ahmed days but it's just. real. after 16 long years in the case of from swazi own career to versus ethics and to meet the families laura has finally handed it and official verdict. if it gets difficult would like it the court recognizes turn its responsibility and states. it at her net as a multinational and world player knew or should have known that exposure to asbestos can cause mesothelioma and that they should have known this since the mid sixty's since we did on the ohss the reason beechwood off it's like david against goliath we have this meeting goliath takes more time when the means are unequal groups.

that both. resulting in today france was young carer has won her battle for me and said the m. sons family you have written one of the darkest pages in belgium industrial history before we get into what you manufacture roofs but you prefer to stay in the shadow we were able to prove to the court that they knew they knew. of. course what for us was who passed away confident rest in peace next to pierre pierre paul and stuff ours. is the fun we don't view we miss you. it's true that i mustn't remain silent is it true i will cry out to

him and i must bear up until this is all. this is a live satisfying. time is short do you see. eric's victory has opened the doors for other claimants all over the world. i joined do glueing on them to discuss whether he saw an opportunity for the numerous victims of crime or to blue had some unsettling news he asked me what my precise connection was to british filmmaker probably more. after a while he started emailing and phoning and giving numbers of other people at a certain point he came to my village is a very nice guy. i was wrong to reveal that rob moore was a corporate sponsor. more now claims to have been

a double agent but the fact remains that he infiltrated numerous anti as best as movements throughout the world is spying gathered information of activists from india thailand indonesia and vietnam. information that could be used to in their day work and their claims against us best as industry activists can now be tracked and killed. one of the things that makes me angry is it has the names and identities and photographs and voice recordings of all of these people without their permission. there are photographs in these files of him sitting with people are dying from aids or vietnam so he is sitting with me leisurely emma victims and using them as a cover. to spy for the rest of his trees that really is something that makes me angry. as business is still being mined in brazil china and

in russia in a time gold is best. if you still exported to countries like india it's a $1000000000.00 business. turns out hope more spying was funded by the biggest as best as mining company in kazakhstan it proves how far they are willing to go to stop the banning of us best us as their mother. was there now are you. sure everything was a lady i will meet me yeah i am here to the n.b.a. thank you. for the 1st time in our life never traveled by plane it's a big day she's invited to speak in geneva in front of the united nations at the business and human rights for a. leave my law partner here milosevic on behalf of the victims in india to give us

but in a way it is all the victims of asbestos who will speak out today you know to another mother you know from the f.t. but other mothers speaking out a mother who sees her children losing their health and us hope. to spare you hope to meet someone from a taxi or to some circuit mall she can see clearly and i hope that management or the c.e.o. will be here but i don't think they're going to come from both parties measurable but i bet they'll send someone who's got you. because only. it takes ethernet declined to participate in our film because not all conditions are sufficiently yet in order to respond positively to your request.

you are here to fight for the rights of the people of how your head nervous look at the letter i read the noise as many people from all over the world come to listen to you. i'm sure made me nervous on a route not ringing. the . high fence i made my left and coming from india in my age yes. i have seen school many people. have leaving a plane for live boy in the because of the deaths. like there really is no friend happy but not why do you need a well done go means an aviation this should not suffice fundies. more than opinion and hope they may head it so i had to see talks. i was

told was that he does this just release this should be he did immediately for the internet has got to pay the 2nd thing some compensation should be given to them he claims. and the tears came down that this is should be bank good day. am i right. there under tremendous roof. see i don't think we know what care they come but yet. they are pending and we have landed only. last wall of their money. we still get what we need only. this is all done pretty well as yet most of the good for you one thing is that.

you know. best to leave this is not a move. didn't you know you will be again. and i am. crisis time as best as is still not on the list of banned products. during the assembly of the rotterdam convention countries take decisions on which hazardous chemicals will be banned convention meets the consensus of all the member states major producing countries have blocked it since 2006 get a good start kazakhstan russia zimbabwe and india. we have committed ourselves a boarding house but all actors for a couple of more years you did it by going on with this chemical and the news

is created man made has the live feeds the only difference is the quantity and the exposing isn't it you sound like a real specialist i hope one day your country will manage also to bend as best as. books and. it looks like it's going to take some time but in the end time means let me tell you that you to die or to snitch so that. i wasn't under the impression that this best this would die a natural death. and meanwhile more and more people died. during the convention i tried to talk to representatives of the russian as best as in the street. you know sir you speak english. don't you only see the russian. can i talk to you about this situation in kazakhstan in russia well why not say. we're here for open discussions are going to be with you. or your issues are going

to be like you and when we understand that the prohibition of its use will lead to the loss of 100000 jobs which country here is willing to lose that many jobs which this week's 186 percent of lung cancer his advice don't back book various kind of it uses there is no start of sticks of out of will any of our international but pentagon said warning the long skies above and based on a lot of desert island was just a logjam just of good seniority that eula b.s. that we consider that the adding of chrysotile us bestest in agendum 3 would have serious negative consequences for the economy if the end all our citizens economy can't fail of any other things that. require consensus is not reached i propose that we simply fall right at that issue to the next call to the consideration for the next call the decision to ban as best as it is once again to get my postponed. reading on the internet.

under a new rule by the environmental protection agency this business is now legally allowed back in u.s. manufacturing. a russian mining company put strums face on it as best as products. too many people have died continue dying and will die because of as best as one can only admire the courage and determination of ordinary people take action and make a difference. and it looks like the fight for justice will continue well into the 21st century. my father and i had our differences. but i think you would agree that if we allow companies to keep putting profit over people these fish a circle of great will continue for eternity. quality
