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 milan, the waste came from sweden and bullied. and none of this would have happened if the waste had stayed and sweden to study ah, we were struck by how symbolic how representative it was of cases of this type. there are many, many situations like this around the world. where typically multinational corporations based in develop countries do things overseas that they would never dream about doing in their own country. ah,
2:31 am

2:33 am
existed. yasamin from before we were talking about when the waste was moved in 1988 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 you follow up. nobody knew what it was or some loss of the wind blows from here, the stress over there. again, diana say, and nobody knew what it was like in a back then there wasn't even any walls when this will built later me. the kids we used to come here to play with me. 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 when people they were piles where kids would play in the dirt with them in some of them built castles with the montana

2:35 am
arsenic 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 i had a film with fidel city, i knew that 8000 people in all were tested and 2010 out of 8000 samples. you can still 6600 were examined by lab and santiago means, and arsenic was confirmed at some of the diesel. so in the $6600.00 samples that are arsenic poisoning was confirmed in 12.9 percent of them which is approximately 8 on the person's. cpp. yes, by a 100 load he pulled were already part of the lawsuit. if i just that minority of the local residence, 825 people out of
2:36 am
a group of 15000 leader, 18000 persona a possible to join a new group of clemons. we can add people who have suffered harm, even though the case is already before the court in sweden. if you have arsenic levels of 30 or more, you can join the lawsuit. the whole area with this is a court case. we might win or we might lose just like in any lawsuit. ok, thank you. just think of how many thousands of tons of toxic waste with doors here . it was contaminated with 14 different heavy metals. we presented the case the opened underwood when, after dealing with a huge company. it has a great deal of power in europe over then it will, celia, they the mainland given the opportunity to super lead in a swedish court. that's already a success,
2:37 am
even without knowing what will come of it. is it good to me now? oh, last year. well ours, you are responsible for launching the biggest lawsuit we've ever had here. so era, really? back home and hell come home, garage this. all right, thank you. so this is our home for 8 weeks. will be recorded for for 6. and i can watch out dan, political message. we're coming for you. ah, it all been all don't start robin. odin's tom, i'm a lawyer representing bulletin in this case of order that i want
2:38 am
to be the we know fairly well what they'll say. we've been exchanging arguments for several years now. it's been a long journey. yes, my name is lucille says neil, head of communications, a bleeder bully them so boldly 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's an emotional chase is an important case for many people including bulletin ball. so we have to get to the bottom of this would almost be what it and get closer to the truth. livable would necessarily be the most spectacular truth from it. but it should be not to be the full truth. there was a loaner when it must have been thus far less at the 1st place it's loc. the case is the 1st of its kind in sweden. both
2:39 am
sides have submitted thousands of pages documenting the various investigations show and the evidence take these the reasoning. mm ah, sees it for the hearing will begin in keith t 10. 12 flashed 13 between the attica plaintiff and bullied in mineral, able on board us ethan. both sides have brought in witnesses and scientists from all over the world explorer experts on gillian law. meteorologists toxicologist, soil experts, chemists, semi's, metallic, jessica politicians and former employees and directors were schafer under meaning 7 holden id cassie, them till example. expanded. plaintiffs from a rica will present experts who will support the claim, that toxic levels of arsenic were found in the urine operation. and that it originates from bo, laden smell to sludge, all fun. i am
2:40 am
a professor at chapman university in california. and my expert opinion, the smelter sludge, is a clear and significant a source of arsenic in the area to discounted as a source of arsenic. takes that 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 let some bethel know for your thoughts. he was my reason for everything. he
2:41 am
wanted that and they took him from me. but i think with that heavy, this is, could cathy a little less 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. albany, anywhere 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. donnie t. conan lived next door. she had an aggressive cancer in her head and died to the new 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
2:42 am
anything about the contamination. and i used to be here, and another neighbor mighty 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 year and money on money. 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 that then there's mrs. today's us husband who also died of cancer. he had lung cancer and skin cancer, often come to libya and then mottos, father waste that other mold. more melanie korea bigger. i guess. what's the health situation like in other parts of attica, is he gets a home. the area near the disposal site is very striking in another unit based not only compared to the rest of america in dummy, but to all of chill,
2:43 am
little british imperial cancer. when we started our research and $25.00 a, we didn't find higher rates, i can start in, but the will have but to day it 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 to lynette in the gutter. yolanda roberson santo hor lasagna in re a been dog who hung up 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 and they began to see it as the cause for all sorts of things for you. it became an explanation for all sorts of things. sca pacific toria clogged
2:44 am
ah offs on that. the still melody of rica and bo, laden are a world apart like 2 worlds that never meet the reality of what is happening on the other side of the world are you seems far, far away, long or less than i'm the lastest. hey you, i mean fall are you had to live in all my father worked the boy lead me and visited chilly when the sledge was being sold on a dale to have. i'm sure he died in 2008 other off, but often talked about how they, he and his bosses knew that the waste would not be handled properly in chile. the case haunted him for the rest of his life. turned down to sleep.

2:53 am
life was a goals believer at all, or during this preceding legion's rule and the material from bronze care when an organ had been thoroughly scrutinized and then on the conclusion 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 i'm afraid to say she left a ting, sweat hardballs. but the my, to she, lance, 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.
2:54 am
instead, the court said a new level for damages at $100.00 micrograms, which is what bullied and had asked for philip. ha, oh, andrew caught them up on and the to the to seem to me i'm good man, man. the man that ok, so the lawyers for erico of course, do not agree with the verdict, but they also say that the court has made an important error is here on empty and hooks up in chile, the supreme court decided that 19 micrograms of arsenic per liter of urine all represents hom, which the swedish court did not take into consideration april. the lawyers are convinced that they can win on appeal on what them can be. now. you hold oh,
2:55 am
a i can i see us. oh, i got a 30 minute verdict is rented the key info. ah, there it is. oh, she yes. well 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 hor, replugged. i can't believe it. they just mr. you to the statute limitations and didn't consider anything else. no,
2:56 am
they took the easy way out with all the pharmacy for the commercial set up only than 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. they had to get out if pola or audience called if you can bury toxic waste and your liability ends as soon as it's in the ground, then in 10 years it's no longer your problem. the children affected by bulletins, toxic waste, have their claims barred by the statute of limitations before they're even born. doctors could be on the mobile phones this fort, it's difficult to accept that justice has been done ah, dumb, stolen to get a quote from to let
2:57 am
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, you know, rica for decimal yet i, we should play my rights as citizens. 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. ah ah ah
