i began by depend on what they say the must visit lookout that he knew i meant as an a.m.a. i can make good money exert myself subelements i it was good but was immediately bayless are still there they don't feel that i need them by a remember that i don't is that is the pinnacle of this ng and. that not surprise me if i'm never i mean pretty damn was that about about the yoke of beauty and. in two thousand and fifteen gave four point five billion dollars to each share holders but not a single cent has been given to the decontamination. for weeks we tried to reach the communications department at tao to get an interview without success. i was going to answer those questions it's pretty important i'm not aware of who that is read off the top of my head we have fifty thousand employees though i have. never called us back

so we decided to go to the company's general assembly in midland in the us to ask our questions. cameras are not allowed inside so we stayed in the parking lot sorry. shareholder. yeah i've been talking about this here where the new resolution is asked at least. as a by what are you sir. please leave. your. story down here to understand your rest here on this and. we quickly realized that we were not welcome. yes they're. ok so i can stay there. ok so we carefully followed their rules for forty five long minutes. until the communications department. decided to. finally set foot outside. hello sorry to disturb you i'm

a french journalist. relations and we told you all sorry why i don't have any thing to say you don't want to talk about. if you don't want to talk about the kids that are sick i'm sorry it wouldn't be appropriate for me. so we thought of another solution. we would bring our questions directly to the personal residence of the c.e.o. of dow mr liveris along with this letter we displayed an american style election sign to make sure that he would miss it. and. i'm not on the property here. though are. you working for mr d. there is over at the company are you working for. are you concerned about this theory are you concerned about what's happening in bhopal you know. the kids look

rush not just thirteen years old it's terrible so why don't he's not doing anything . i don't know sir. but doesn't touch you you don't mind that's everybody so whether he's not doing anything. a few days later we finally received an email from dow the company in the manse bhopal it was a terrible tragedy that we will never forget. but they relieve themselves of all responsibilities stating that we acquired union carbide more than sixteen years after the catastrophe of one thousand nine hundred four continues to address global issues through human solutions. issues like clean water as important as life itself . was working to make water safe and readily available to people all over the globe . you know. nothing is more fundamental. nothing.

in dollars wake countless victims and human tragedies pile up without any damage to the company's profits. in december two thousand and fifteen dow announced the biggest financial operation in its history. a merger of one hundred thirty billion dollars with another american chemical giant du pont. a match made in heaven. there's a lot of the chemistry between. dupont made its fortune with dynamite. nylon. and tough line get

a magical material that prevents food from sticking to patent spotted want. to. be built. however behind the success of teflon dupont hides a dark secret sauce his can't believe. on the line more than people. dying because of what they. think. cares a girl or to a window on. this respect. at the heart of this drama is one city parkersburg. lost in the eastern u.s. . this city was built around the

dupont factory. suzanne bailey came here in one thousand seventy eight to work on the tough line production lines. i went to work in may the eighth one thousand nine hundred seventy eight that was my glorious day right there i took the pictures it's you as me. without gray hair. in the middle yeah you know i was so happy just by you i was that was the lead job i mean everybody want to go there because of the money but the benefits and everything like that it was secure the chemical industry is a growing growing by leaps and bounds. i mean you can just mention the dupont name and door swung open it was like princes coming through the door you know. in first one buyer and one. bright future with.

where you're at the so i was thrilled i was absolutely thrilled that it. a few months after starting her job at dupont suzanne bailey became pregnant in january of one nine hundred eighty one she gives birth to the little bucky. when he was born it was very traumatic they didn't know what to do with him they've never seen anything like it. i cannot figure out what happened. he had half an hour stroke half a nose the eye as a keyhole pupil. i didn't know what to do i was fraid. i had no idea what was wrong.

bucky survived he is now thirty five years old. but his childhood was spent between his home and the hospital. i had thirty surgeries a span of you know six or seven years where they took cartilage so for my nose a metal plate here they stretched my forehead out so that they could use the. old one of those here still have one functioning. we had to put a hockey mask on him and it guards because he was in the lab the face the whole. he had to wear those for. i would say three months it's. only the only way that he got to tame up was just to eat i always eat as a key to grow and to have you know so many surgeries and it's pretty easy. walking

out of public and going through a store or a restaurant. so to answer all the eyes are on you. school when you go in and you're trying to make here for. all this is you're different. after her maternity leave suzanne bailey began to suspect her job as the cause of bucky's deformity. a mysterious source. to one molecule in particular. the molecule in tough that stops food from sticking to and i went back to work the first day i went to the locker and i found a paper laying there i picked it at i began reading about it. it was talking about how the rats were fed the c eight and what deformities that had around her face. and i thought that sounds just like back in. it was very similar to what they see

absolutely very similar almost identical to what he had that's why i knew there was something wrong i think that's why i connect. the scientific studies and believe found had been conducted by a subcontractor of dupont it studied baby rats whose mothers were exposed to see eight they developed abnormal eye lenses. i immediately walked at that door went down to medical and i said is this what's wrong with my baby oh no no. it was a motto. that. a thing year or two. but in the meantime dupont was secretly investigating the pregnant women working in their factory to out of seven children born to the factory workers had facial deformities like bucky. shortly after dupont decided to transfer suzanne bailey and

her colleagues to other departments. at the time clinton whimsically also worked in the manufacturing department of tough line . he remembers the discussion he had with his manager he said can we send all the women home out of all of. these oh don't worry it won't her the men just the when we feel that it can cause trouble so awesome or hurt me. clinton whimsically it was a lab technician he handled c eight for thirty years to bring the fumes from all the samples we bring. though we just you know as a time when we would take care of us and. so i just did my jobs for years. and we didn't realize our health was an issue then. surgeon diagnosed me with have

been cancer. he had taken all my rectum torn mccoll. i don't see clear to cuff strategies in any way i only see that in all things good for today or tomorrow. you have a team a solo concert for what brief period of time and then you know divorce immediately i think that's a. bad historical moment in the middle east and it is very difficult to predict how things will be called. when else truths seem wrong. when old rules just don't hold. any. get to shape out these days become active. and engaged equals betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. this talk about blackness and the bills of being black. and all was well in a big house down though at least that's what i've been told but it was simply did we in relays is such because we simply forgot i don't believe. the scene we've allowed them to rearrange out paint you've told us the sickness of trusting our enemy and we became defamed. that's what i call a lack of blackness or understanding to blues of being black. sheep to blues of being black sheep mandate that we attack knowing how when and what to do to come this simple in its natural as be back is simply tat the feelin blue is black and blue. beat.

me. every morning. now continue emsley has to live with an astronomy bag attached to his stomach. he changes it day and night. at the factory he worked in a team with three other technicians. my buddies people i really love seeing him every day cared about those guys are all dead and i should bet they didn't see retard. now enough. and his colleagues were never warned about the risks of c eight. however we procured a confidential document from dupont. it's dated one thousand nine hundred eighty two thirty four years ago. in it mr carr the medical director

at the time expresses concern about the consequences of c h retained in the blood of employees. he specifically recommends that practice. steps be taken to reduce this exposure. all employees not just kept on area more cursed are exposed so rather than to do anything they just read it out. i never seen a letter like. a met you can say well. we could have prevented a lot of laws. unfavored told us there's a problem. i had to cover. my day law. why didn't they have us protected. too costly. we tracked down bruce carr dupont's former medical director. he is now enjoying

a peaceful retirement by the ocean far from parkersburg. i have a document of nine hundred eighty two showing that you are aware that see it was toxic for workers why have you not told them the truth at the time they were all told they were told the language you actually know i have interviewed some employees and they were not aware of anything we told her lawyers everything we do is sit in your back at night you know. you're trying to do reconstruction history and you can't do that why had he not print taken your own please. push it. dupont would not only put their employees in danger once again tens of thousands of people would be affected. they live up to seventy kilometers away from the factory . one man would discover this

a bit by accident. joe kiger. on october thirty first two thousand he received a letter from the municipality concerning the quality of the tap water it mentions c eight the setting in my court yard the wife was water no flowers and we got our water bill and the mail and with that bill came a letter. the so i can get form letters all the time saying like ass own banging in front of over and you think about the next thing you know you throw it away and that's basically what this was it just caught my attention and i start. then the flag started first of all what was say air which is used by the or what do have to do. joe cocker's sought clarification on the matter. called dupont to try to find out so they put me

in touch with a guy i don't know mr kennedy they. like to know more about the cia if you see this film is not in the worry about about it was this. and it wasn't anything to worry about and he was flat out lying on the me and i can tell them. to get to the bottom of it he takes to pont to court. after a long legal battle the judge forces the company to declassify their internal studies on seeing. joe cocker discovers the truth behind the factory of parkersburg . for decades they've been dumping c eight waste into the river. to make things worse dupont has known since one thousand nine hundred four that the molecule spread into the regions tap water. the company found astronomical levels in public taps. up to fifty times the limit of toxicity according to the u.s.

environmental protection agency. that was nineteen eighty-four and we didn't come out till two thousand so sixteen years yeah before we even hit them up about it and they as you say right here they chose not to do anything about it. and they knew what was common with the law bill these of they got they were trying to slide under the radar. for so long they have done nothing but lie for years the faithful about what this stuff is all about. here because of what they've done there's people dying because of what they've done. during all these years more than seventy thousand people have been drinking contaminated water. in two thousand and eleven both scientific research and the u.s. justice system established that c. eight could cause six diseases thyroid disorder high cholesterol all sort of

collide just high blood pressure kidney cancer or testicular cancer. today three thousand five hundred people in the parkersburg region are ill. they've all filed complaints against dupont. this is the case for all. time and out of quietness for about seventeen years. to document couple. of more and problems and her cholesterol. there's a ross machine we're seeing. today can doesn't have a cool in anymore he too is living with an astronomy bag of a sudden you don't function normally but you and. that's when.

there's not any. any hope and that's called. controllers. and just controls you want to things in my wife. in a way i did throughout. the document reveals that all of these victims could have been spared. on may twenty second one thousand nine hundred eighty four a meeting took place at the dupont headquarters the directors are worried about the consequences for the inhabitants they plan to eliminate all c eight emissions. i wanted to show you these sentences here. but finally no measures are taken as their argument it's not economically attractive.

that is and what you're ready for. that's for we were married as a long. long all. that's crazy that's all they said bad you know that the head of and it's. just disregarded kept on and every door it was company greenwood that caused this whole situation they knew what they were doing to us and they continued to do it for money that's the only reason they continued to do it. dupont refuses to collectively compensate the three thousand five hundred sick people they prefer to study the cases one by one as a result since two thousand and twelve only one victim has been able to get a trial. dupont was sentenced to pay her one point six million dollars the three thousand four hundred ninety nine remaining victims like earl bottom are still

awaiting at the current pace of the trials the last one would take place in one hundred years do you still trust and us in that you will get a trial at some point all. i don't think probably have to be out and. there won't be a trial so. transfers are made living long enough to receive. orders to know you're going. to be tracked. for all your interest. and i think they should stand up. and i can write with their marriage. dupont refused all of our requests for an interview so we drove to their headquarters in delaware on the east coast to convince them to answer our questions

. at the other end of the line we reached the head of media relations daniel turner we. are going to repeat the basic ways you know we meet and to make a proper interview you know at some point but first let's me it's you know i'm just here i think you can see me here i'm making signs respect. you know that there is like an incredible amount of documents showing that you have known the. thirty years. and knew that you were poisoning your employees at the washington word splints. season well you know the rico nice thing the fight they do have degree of close and so i was in the first sense. ok. the first question. yeah. my question is ok i'll be. fine later today we are in two thousand and sixteen

steals three thousand five hundred troops and we serve a disease that's a way to just have the right to get the trial. i mean how long are you going to deny your responsibilities are you waiting that day old i. doubt it will provide for your for nothing else. no out like if people provide with it. but. we did receive a press release from dupont. but without a single word from the victims. they claim to have studied see it carefully for decades and affirm to have always acted responsibly. in two thousand and fifteen dupont finally stopped using c eight the company was

also ordered by the courts to clean up the region. but how many generations are still to experience the after effects of this contamination. in the chemical world history inexorably tends to repeat itself. it takes decades to reveal the truth and just as many years for the multinationals to be prosecuted . in their laboratories new toxic molecules are constantly being developed. but in ten twenty thirty or forty years who knows how many new victims will be poisoned.

let's talk about blackness and the blues of being black. and always well in a big house down any steps without been told anybody should lead the way and we may say such because we simply forgot on. the scene we've allowed them to rearrange airplanes you've told us the sickness of trusting our enemy and we became their fate. that's what i call the lack of blackness or understanding the blues of being black. sheep the blues of being black should mandate that we attack knowing how when and what to do to come the simple in his nationally is be back and simply tag the feeling bill is black and blue.
