ah, if the 7th, the indian, this is the cemetery. thing . she's buried here. i believe her death was caused by all the arsenic and blood. we have here day you'll see a bay. i still asked myself why i was never allowed to see her medical records. but again, why is that it was oh, i wasn't even allowed to take a picture of her if she lost her hair due to be chemotherapy and was completely bald later by a ship every time i wanted to take a photo of her, she said no mama,

no, she didn't want to have her picture taken that way. medical memorial on her final day, she said, come with me wait. i said to her later, darling medical. very rarely she asked me where we are. i said yes. and then i'll be sleeping next to you. she put her head on my shoulder and drew her last breath even that i looked, it was a, it was like when a baby says, well mom for the 1st time you mean my mom? a vehicle? my mom, she breathed mamma and at that moment i lost her you will never forget that. ready ready ah

ah new phantom all 14 years ago, i began retracing the steps from my home town in sweden. he said to my native country, chile and the desert town of our rica earth installed on audio full cannot say 2 places that have been connected my entire life wanted someone connected by the mining company, alida. and we'll either mon, the had issue many people hear a sig and thousands initially. they say it's because of the wasted at the beginning of all follow this up to the waste that's left over after we finished mining for gold. back at home, after we've extracted the precious metals from the all the millennium

mutant feel. we've made this film on to tell that story for that visa. awesome. hm . good letter. yeah. i let's say you're allowed to live. i'm useless to death yet, but next to me, isabella lush. happy mantle. my 1st question, dear count, you feel about what your country sweden has brought here, j u i you mean the toxic waste? cynthia i, i think my country's responsible once i would and should do something to help all of you. i said, i'll go put a tennis either. ah,

lou amy in the mid 19 eighties when chili was ruled by a military dictatorship, bullied and shipped nearly 20000 tons of toxic sludge to a rica in northern. she lay to lyrica. ah. they in none here go halted, almosha neat, quicksilver. hopefully this lodge contained high levels of arsenic luxury and lead shall landscape all logged prominent tea, maloney toner for lead and paid that she lay in company pro mel 1000000 euros to dispose of the toxic waste. but only a fraction of the sludge was processed in promos, furnaces, rest them live leak under. but plumped the rest was simply dumped into

a pile on the outskirts of a rica and forgotten may order skill a boost of excel from unless until whose summer and then it stopped. it forced us project in the years that followed by a densely populated neighbourhood emerged right next to it off house her again, live and live. that's awe at him. mom. back han, bullied and is a pillar of society. you might say that it helped sustain and provide a living to my community. but what does bullied and have to say about how swedish mining ways ended up on the other side of the world upon darcy than you would this afternoon? oh, you're simply not interested in a fair portrayal of this. is she or of bleeding as a company? yes, it was

a must do service bailey. that's not true. we described go lead in as an important company that has done a lot for the community here than our big dental school. and my mom and trying a connection between the people who work for bulletin to day and the situation and oscar gemini, of the ok. give me a 2nd. i don't think that's fair to the people who work for the company to day a younger than that ought to be at that mozilla working on this film. i eventually came into contact with one of bullied and former directors rove the sped buried. was one of those responsible for shipping the toxic sludge to our rica. ah, well hon. we let us to boca, he returned to over eager because he wanted to see with his own eyes the consequences of his decision. ah, i hear the music over there where it says casey stain.

you who got my children used to play there in about a few of them. but where did you hear about the young man who died of the tumor in his head? he was also poisoned. no one ever told him what was going on. the doctors in santiago didn't say anything because they said it was just that the people here uneasy. g a 10 year old children have to take these or 3 months of it and the doctor said that they're insulin resistant. i don't understand what's happening here. there are so many drugs in examination with you. ringback i don't understand this. o

ellis ross is rove. he doesn't speak spanish. laura, bye. beth? yes. well, metre. c then yes, this, i mean, she had to have surgery, they, because of the toxic waste extra nipples grew on her year after mamma. that's why she had surgery did. if she got pregnant, all of these nipples would have produced milk. that's why they had to be removed. i found a c. m. at it. it isn't your fault that i can't remember. no, i wouldn't say that. but i feel terribly sad about this and that and very, very angry. if i had made a different decision, though,

none of this material would ever have been sent here. not much own again. and when the lumina, when he came here to our account, when you eat, tommy came to my house, and we talked for quite a while. they all explained the deal to us and we have to tell them who am i remember that he was very emotionally affected after visiting the area and talking to the young people there after that experience. and i think that he said the bulletin has to address the damage done to the people there. for me. it was a question of justice and he it on and human rights. it did he again, when it goes to what i want the medical piece. yeah. the mother did it month, rodrigo, my sampler, and i from pamela mo, trigo and i have known each other for 14 years. one of him, he's from a rica and is an anthropologist. mendoza. libra, true. when i 1st met him,

he had begun working with the people affected by the toxic waste from sweden. he dog. today he's probably the person who knows the most about the wastes scandal, lino rica, in chile, both that she lay and stayed and promised that the company that received the ways of men were convicted in court some to him and a small group of victims received compensation for the damage they suffered elite and their lot on the arbiter men bully them, but bullied and has never been taken to court. i thought a target had o laden has avoided commenting on the a rica case whenever possible. medical mathematica found that they probably assumed the case has been forgotten. evoked clump

g. welcome. kimberly. hey, you wanna? i like to speak to eva wooten. yes. hey, you wanna? my name is johan, either from carrot, law, firm in stock overflow. understand that you believed in his legal representative. yes. hurrying and go on the um hi, i'm calling because of the exports of toxic meaning waste to the mid 1980 to chilling partition until i assume you're familiar with that. is so at your to some of nathan, i've been looking into this case for a while. i get together with some colleagues from sweden, she li on the u. s. and we've prepared a lawsuit her against bulletin about her mother's curtis and was also come boldly don't

ah count can said malformations bone and joint pain. the waste that's believed in ship to chile in the 1980s. this is dale, causing serious hom today fed up with 800 people from a poor community in the desert of northern chile. i've lost a claim against the swedish company mm. with nations too. it feels good to see that there are people who are pursuing the matter in a way that we as a feel make is on able to do it. kenyatta if he had or tito from the court cases. the result of 4 years of preparation,

which began after the release of a documentary film. as much as the report showed children played in the pile of toxic waste, which was full of arsenic lead, and mercury went out. the waste came from sweden and bullied, and none of this would have happened if the waste had stayed and swayed out a study. ah, we were struck by how symbolic how representative was of cases of this type. there are many, many situations like this around the world where typically multinational corporations based and developed countries do things overseas that they would never dream about doing in their own country. ah,

lewis gordon lewis. gordon is the founder of an american non profit organization backed by private donors that provides legal support to environmental cases around the world. he and a team, a swedish lawyers watched our film yet eco high with a will be too late. i wish for each one of whom believe between the outdoor it is very crucial for become involved in a name we have okay. miss young. this was the case i dreamt told when i was in law school to represent the

week against the mighty. this is step tried to let him push no kiss in air. at sight. it's flattened out of the hat a plot. this is you city o f, that bull the place where bo laden's waste was kept until 1998. when she lane authorities instructed prom l to move the waste about a kilometer away. lance can mean, but for 14 years before that, the sludge was located next to a residential area. volta ixl, um, at the hospital in the liquor. if you are on or the people he is say that by that time, toxic dust had spread across the entire area. say that if to not played on how to

study it, it's your middle that a thank you for how the food problem still exists. yeah, i saw the live before we were talking about when the waste was moved in 1088. and when it arrived here in 1995, before the waste is still here. it's unbelievable when you watch your film. in fact, it's hard to grasp how close the hoses actually are, who not, and nobody there knew anything in follow up. nobody knew what it was or some loss of the wind blows from here, straight over there. and indiana say, and nobody knew what it was like them back then. there wasn't even any wolves when this will help later. mommy, the kids we used to come here to play. mommy. that was easy to get inside. one of what he ended up, the children would play her, what were some of the things they would do specifically come, why the m a on equal? there were piles where kids would play in the do. some of them build castles with the margin in one

a thought on bomb. some exit of jocilan is one of the many children who grew up in this neighbourhood. in the 1st time i met her, she was 10 years old, the home of t. o. i lived with her family when i was in a rica when that are more on that you know, body with. and this class had to nick. so i watched her grow up on my visits to a rica, and soon she'll have a baby herself, conchella for bon mm. where it is just to live over there. this is kimberly, at the fair manifest because i'm pregnant. my baby is sharing my blood or you're suffering from drama from that or, and arsenic. and as

a me asinique as anything the now you're going to have a new member of the family. i only wish that the baby is born healthy in. wow. if i figured that out and assume with fidel city, i knew that 8000 people in all were tested and 2010 out of 8000 samples. dental 6600 were examined by lab and santiago means and arsenic was confirmed. some of this was so in the $6600.00 samples for arsenic poisoning was confirmed and 12.9 percent of them which is approximately $800.00 persons cpg. yes, by a 100 load hipaa. we're already part of the lawsuit. if i just that minority of the local residence, 825 people would, i have

a group of 15000 or 18000 persona is a possible to join a new group of claimants. we can add people who have suffered harm, even though the case is already before the court and sweden. if you have arsenic levels of 30 or more, you can join the lawsuit level area. but this is a court cases we might win or we might lose just like in any lawsuit. ok, thank you. to think of how many thousands of tons of toxic waste was stored here. it was contaminated with 14 different heavy metals. we presented the case don't. belinda wouldn't have been dealing with a huge company. it has a great deal of power in europe over then it will celia them unless given the opportunity to super legion in a swedish court. that's already

a success, even without knowing what will come of it. is it good me now? oh, last year. well ours, you're responsible for launching the biggest lawsuit we've ever had here. so era really? very common hell come home garage. huh. thank you. so this is our home for 8 weeks . we'll pub recorded more cuz each guy and i can watch out, dan polluters come after we're coming for you. ah, it all been all. don't start robin alden's, tom. i'm a lawyer representing bulletin in this case of a widow and i want to be we know

fairly well what they'll say. we've been exchanging arguments for several years now . it's been a long journey job. my name is leslie nielsen. neal, head of communications of belinda boley, dom sub only the hard so bullied and has done nothing wrong here of it. so these are so be our standpoint, is that we have a responsibility to clarify what happened, support the cleans with back to the fact that everything is on the table. oh, it is an emotional case is an important case for many people including the lead involved. so we have to get to the bottom of this would almost be what it and get closer to the truth. the people would, won't necessarily be the most spectacular truth for me, but it should be that they'd be the full truth that osama oliver older than it must have been thus far left at a frustrated slot. the case is the 1st of its kind in sweden. both sides have

submitted thousands of pages documenting the various investigations a show and the evidence take this the reasoning. mm aah! sees it for the hearing will begin in case t. 10. 12 flash 13 between the attica plaintiff and bullied and mineral able long bored us. either both sides have brought in witnesses and scientists from all over the world, expire experts on chile and law, meteorologists, toxicologist, soil experts, chemists, semi metallic, jessica politicians, and former employees, and directors or schaefer under $700.00 an id cassie, them until exemption expanded. plaintiffs from a rica will present experts who will support the claim, that toxic levels of arsenic were found in the urine alteration,

and that it originates from bo laden smell to sludge. all fun. i am a professor at chapman university in california. and my expert opinion, the smelter sludge, is a clear and significant source of arsenic in the area to discounted as a source of arsenic and takes the tremendous stretch of imagination. when i 1st heard from one of the lawyers that the bullet and waste had 17 percent arsenic. i didn't believe it. i've never heard anything like that. a pile of waste that close to a city to with that high of arsenic concentration. in one moment, how did you tell your children that they're all there is going to die in

let me lessen. they thought your thoughts. he was my reason for everything. he managed that and they took him from me but i think will that e this is could kathy a little than darrow's good of him? and then we have plaintiffs here as well. i got a 2011 study showed that there are high levels of arsenic here. anyhow, other name that honeywell not to let you know that it was her little woman who lived in the house with the bars of them. she sold the house and died of cancer donny. ti, conan lived next door. she had an aggressive cancer in her head and died to them. you for you. he died yesterday and the wife of her son had a baby who died. but her son doesn't want to talk to anyone about it or hear

anything about the contamination. i used to bring it up and another neighbor, marty subpoena had the stomach cancer. the woman who bought her house had a tumor on her face and put in the man across from her, also had cancer way. and then there's so many cases income. yes, it seems like every one here and marty on monday, she had ovarian cancer. well, by the time she died, the cancer had spread everywhere. then there's mrs. yaya who also died of cancer. it started in her years and spread you can and then there's mrs. today's us husband who also died of cancer. he had lung cancer and skin cancer, hockey gum from libyan, and then mottos. father, we spoke about it. no more. melanie, cory, irv reger, i guess. what's the health situation like in other parts of attica, is he gets a home in the area near the disposal site is very striking in another unit based not only compared to the rest of america in them,

but to all of chileya british imploded guns. when we started our research in $25.00, if we didn't find higher rates, i can start in, but the will have but to day there are cases in almost every family that in the areas near the disposal site to literally a rate of cancer is much, much higher than in the rest of kilo elephant lynette from the grocer. janevalyn santo lasagna. anna maria. build of her hon. hope for listening to him was very interesting. he paints a picture of what he sees as the situation in the region to us. but as so often, i don't believe his account holds up as evidence. it could be that in 1998, when people became aware that a big pile of potentially hazardous materials were stored there when they began to see it as the cause for all sorts of things for you. it became an explanation for all sorts of things. just as if it gloria clogged

ah offs on that. the stu. melody, a rica and bullied and are a world apart. like 2 worlds that never meet the reality of what is happening on the other side of the world. you seems far, far away, long or less than under estes hey, you am me for now you had to leave and all my father worked the bullied me and visited chili when the sledge was being sold on a deal to have. i'm sure he died in 2008 another off, but often talked about how they, he and his bosses knew that the waste would not be handled, proclaimed chile. but the case haunted him for the rest of his life gone down to

sleep. ringback on either my father, i spent his entire working life a whole year then in his last years he was dragged into the sand. little at the sledge hammer. okay. the funds to hold saddam somebody until you meet them all to toilet. so even in the mid 19 eighties, there were people who doubted that the slides would be handled safely and chilly on accordions, father, martin lindstrom, appears on rovers fed barracks, photo from a rica. now you amanda, that epa. oh yes, that's my father. definitely. man bulletins advocate said at fido laden's, lawyers say that the company because of its visits to a rica who gray to precautions than they were required to. and that it was

impossible to foresee that people would be exposed to the ways at mann middle school. a school near us from holland best you can jump into some awesome sorts of hindsight. and foresight are 2 different things. and nom hindsight, there is an elegant english phrase. he himes side bias sham, which describes a psychological phenomenon where we as human beings, when we think about an event. in hindsight, some will tend to believe that it was much more predictable than it really was more than incredible by vol. the torque monet for left or cash intense people in this town won't even dare to think that believe may have done anything wrong. they are the only thing my father sent to that effect was we understood that they wouldn't take care of the material pro play. he never said, i understood it. ya, but i don't know what he meant by. we may be only live else that way. or maybe there was some kind of consensus among mist off that they'd never have dead speak about it openly. i'm like when say ad hoc

if the shall martin lindsey martin lindstrom passed away several years ago. well and anna caught in can't find anything in her father's note books that refers to the regrets her father expressed pins. there is nothing that could be used as evidence in the courtroom. ah, conversation and you see. so 12. good. yeah. i just want to add that. yeah, i want justice to be done here, tara beaver. my. my son was killed. gin motto, asi, who, who killed your son, why? bo, lead a and my dad recently took secretarial here,

and he knew exactly what they were doing on are on the we have no further questions . truly, knowledge, fill them out. lessons on your side. i know your honor like locked up at the opposing party, has no questions. the hearing us over now. the hall so to tire in stock form one on that or we feel her for almost all to mother if you sleep all did. and i dare say that this was bulletins plan talk aren't all. this is what happened was when big multinational corporations are accused of causing damage with their activity. desousa huge sums are spent on experts and consult and muscle from recall to produce hundreds of pages worth of reports of the seymour all with the goal of obscuring your what is evident, i believe, and hope that this court has the ability for you to see through all that, all awesome. thank you from or got see

a yolanda. thank ah booley, the man that at manish name all it into liter. almost. carla bullied and claims that the plaintiffs suffered no damages. and if they did, but it's not the result of their waste. bullied and doesn't even describe it as waste. boom. didn't salad material of negative value to it. the rest of the out and they got the bad ah a domain that ok. so they also said that if bleeding and as the a rica side claims them, it has contributed to a humana, terry, and catastrophe. then this was something the company could never have predicted say, ah

ah, how are you? good, thanks. a bit nervous, nervous. that it? yes oh and you course off of the shower emotional for 11 years of work boils down to a single minute at 11 a. m from alga. i note in the middle there, are you ready to tell her from okay, here we go. okay. the verdict goes, looked at footmen. mm hm. okay. oh i, i need to talk to the people here. what's the verdict at

bowie and why? but in that way, i ah ha. the interest will swell the pacifica. we have it. of course, we're very disappointed we hoped for a different outcome, morgan more. there are many, many people in the city of africa or who stayed up all night there night. it's not fair. it's not fair. you know, the wound our lives and now they're not even taking responsibility for it.

i have no idea what we can do now. this proves nothing. well that it proves is that money talks and they have plenty of that. oh, i don't, but i think the directly in the grammar, we're sorry we raised your hopes what but i also want to ask for your forgiveness another then you don't have to do that to rodrigo, that we're very grateful for all the work you have done that yeah, i know you thought that you would win so bizarre. we all thought we would win. but how do i i'm in shock. yeah, i can hardly knew. we didn't stand a challenge. so let me know.

life was a goals believer at all or during this preceding bulletins rule on the material from bronze care when an organ have been thoroughly scrutinized and then on the conclusions is unequivocal. i call on the residents of erica, we want to try to accept the results of the investigation home to sure. and this trial, in fact, to say she left a ting, sweat hardballs, but the moment she lands the swedish court decided to apply chilly in law. so the statute of limitations hadn't expired when i bought it bought the verdict states that there is no proven connection between bullied and toxic waste. and the arsenic are found in people's urine to sierra, despite the fact that the court says bullied and acted negligently. and it states that this is not relevant because a level of 30 micrograms of arsenic per late of urine does not represent tom.

instead, the court said a new level for damages at $100.00 micrograms, which is what bullied and had asked for bill epa. oh, ado caught them up on an a 2 to 3 into mailman. men the men. ok, so the lawyers for rica of course do not agree with the verdict, but they also say that the court has made an important error on empty and hooks up in chile, the supreme court decided that 9000 micrograms of arsenic per liter of urine all represents hom, which the swedish court did not take into consideration if the lawyers are convinced that they can win on appeal on them. come been hold oh

a i can i see us. i got a 30 minute voting. just read the info. ah, a she yes. oh handle martin, i'm sorry. it didn't work. the court now decided to apply swedish law to the case also on the lease with a place. it's the statute of limitations. yeah, don't horror plot this. i can't believe it. they just mr. you to the statute

limitations and didn't consider anything else. no, they took the easy, we are a pharmacy for commercial, said a bully, then a comment on them. so bullied and got away with it because they did nothing all this time. they didn't act in a timely manner. and so they avoided taking responsibility. elsie francois doesn't yet distola or on his goal that you can bury toxic waste and your liability ends as soon as it's in the ground you then in 10 years it's no longer your problem. the children affected by bullied and toxic waste have their claims barred by the statute of limitations before they're even born or as could be out of the don't even know foods ah yes for it's difficult to accept that justice has been done. 2 ah, don't students get a quote from to let

a court should have told the whole truth and but now that the court has ruled that the statute of limitations has passed levels, the truth never even got a full hearing. so we will never know what the justice system believes about. bo laden is responsibility for what happened in rica for this amount. yes, i mean, we should claim my rights as citizen. it's not our fault. they got money from the government to bring that toxic waste. that contaminated our life, we have to join forces and fight for justice with
