Dear friend,
A class of hazardous chemicals known as PFAS, or "forever chemicals" is rapidly contaminating water and people across the U.S. These chemicals are used in cookware, clothing and even in food packaging. But they’ve been linked to serious health effects, like hormone disruption and cancer.
PFAS chemicals are the subject of "Dark Waters," the new feature film from Participant Media and Focus Features. The film is based on the true story of environmental lawyer Rob Bilott who took on DuPont after he uncovered evidence the company knowingly dumped toxic PFAS chemicals into drinking water in and around Parkersburg, W.Va.
