Just saw this film. I felt physically sick from disgust and indignation. My highest admiration for Rob Bilott and his steadfastness and for Ruffalo who made a film about such an important topic. I hope many go see it, but since it doesn't have a superhero- wait it DOES!
Marvel could use a character like this
I also just finished this movie and had to google. It disgusts me and I cant believe this is real. I'm so shocked. IDK what to say.
@@jamesdennis6120 just be thankful it ain't your hometown like some ppl.
Whole family sick. Grandpa built that plant, dad worked teflon I got the heart problems at birth..
@@Unicyclemom This is so awful..
finally after 20 years this man is getting some attention
Yeah
Yes 😢
Truth always prevails
True most only get it right after they die
1:55 by being called Bob
Rob is a true hero. The years and years he went through for all those people. He saved
Lives and he helped those who where effected and sentenced to death from these chemical companies. What an amazing human being.
I felt so touched by Robert Bilott, that dude stood there for 20 yrs against a corporate giant!!! WTF! It's beyond a Herculean thing to do. Ppl can't stand up to their managers and say No. And to top that, he's so simple and humble.
Genuinely surprised they didn’t get him “hit” ….
I started working at DuPont, Washington Works Plant in July 1981,as a first year Millwrights Local Union 1755 apprentice, never smoked cigarettes, was an avid runner and in excellent health. 4 years later I started having siezures, the second time I went to the emergency room and was hospitalized for 3 days of continuous medical test. I was diagnosed in January, 1986, after a 4 months rebuild of the Teflon division with hypothyroidism. 34 years later and still have a very high amount of C-8 in my blood and still have to get continuous blood work done for the correct amount of thyroid medication. Thank you Robert Billot for your hard work and dedication.
I really hope you get better.
So much dark stuff hidden from huge corporations and the government.
Wow! God bless you. The employees there seemed to have been “lab rats” also? DuPont is disgusting! Thank you Bob Bilott, you are a true hero!
You did
I'm deeply sorry that you're one of their victims. Such cruelty is unimaginable. They knew the truth and deliberately suppressed it, prioritizing profits over human lives and dignity.
The pain in Rob's eyes speaks waves as to how deep this issue is.
Yes.
you can just see the pain of the fight in Bilott's eyes :(
i love both Mark and Ruffalo
hahaha
Lol 😂 best comment.
Kostas Kotidis haha I was just gonna write this lol
😂😂😂😂
😅😅😅
I was a plaintiff in this class action lawsuit... and i learned more from this interview than i knew my entire life while this lawsuit was in process. I had no idea its in me and not going away 🤦♀️ the lawsuit began when I was in elementary school and didnt get settled until i was 30 years old. That’s how hard they had to fight. My entire family suffered serious long term health issues. I had high blood pressure in every single pregnancy.
When someone kills they go to Jail! Du Pont has killed and cause sooo much damage in this world yet no one is in Jail!!! 🚔🚔🚔
AND they made around 40 billion from it. Same crap that went out with financial shenanigans in '08 by Wall Street behemoths that blew up and almost caused another Great Depression again.The money they spent in legal fees , fines, and settlements etc., still made a gigantic profit for them which Bilott's character , played by Mark points out during an initial settlement signing of documents with the now sick and dying farmer, THAT's the problem, besides the revolving door with Washington, people more interested in a fat salary and career rather than doing the right (I mean correct, LOL) thing , lobbyists, Citizen's United ruling with the big money in politics (public financing only and equal air time- if you lose a fair election (I mean no voter suppression or gerrymandering crap) your policies suck and you deserve to lose), This is why I LOVE Bern and to a lesser extent even Warren.
Du pont dines with the government
Money talks.
@juntao11 junato... you said it. Always was and always will be. On Earth.
Not only that. But they're still making Teflon with gen x. A forever chemical just as bad as c8
My God I can't even put into words just how much RESPECT I have for Robert... This man NEEDS to be honoured...
They HAVE TO award him Noble Prize. I will never forget his name and the name of the poor farmer: RIP Mr Tennant who was another hero, a farmer, a grade12 student knew more than those stupid, dumb scientists working for DuPont.
I just watched on Netflix. I'm alarmed, shocked, frightened but also thankful for that great man at the table who risked everything to pursue what was right.
Mark Ruffalo thank you for your activism and dedication to our environment. I will never forget your heroism in Standing Rock along side the courageous Native Americans stance against the oil pipelines.
vanilla bean he is a real life hero. I’m one of the people affected by DuPont’s poison. I’m grateful for Mr Billot and Mark. I have MS, had to have a radical hysterectomy at 30, and my spine is deteriorating. No amount of money can compensate for the sufferings of all affected. I’m grateful this movie was made and I hope the world takes notice. These companies build factories in rural areas, employ the community and donate to schools, local organizations, etc...so no one questions their pollution. Most people, including my parents and grandparents thought they were helping them. I’ve lost 4 family members to cancer, one of whom was an 8 year old cousin. I’m now 42, and I’m in poor health because of DuPont and PFOAs. Please watch the documentary “The Devil We Know.” It shows you how sinister the coverup really was.
I’ve also had every tooth replaced by implants and bridges. My teeth started deteriorating as a child. I could literally break a permanent tooth eating bread. I had silver crowns on most of my baby teeth by the 3rd grade and I wasn’t alone. They have harmed millions. Our government is completely captive to these corporate monsters.
@@crystalvickers78 I'm so sorry to hear the health battles you are going through. It is infuriating to know how much power these corps have over our gov't.
I look forward to seeing the film you've suggested.
Mark and Ruffalo
Poor Rob. You can see the pain and distress he's been in and the toll his fight has taken on him. I cannot thank him enough for what he's done and Mark Ruffalo also deserves huge props for nailing his role in the movie!!
Was thinking the same thing, you can see the weight he carries with it all
Yeah, he was only 55 during this interview, but he looked so tired. Good man, that.
DuPont HAS KILLED THE WORLD WOW A MUST WATCH MOVIE AND START BOYCOTTING ALL DUPONT
I think they started their Children's Hospital to study all the crap their products caused kids- gee , thanks DuPont !
Just finished watching this movie a couple of minutes ago and it's amazing. Apparently, PFOA was put on the elimination list in the EU in 2020, something I've only found out about after doing research after the movie, and I am a law student in central Europe. The case on PFOA and the amazing lawyer really needed more coverage because I and millions of other people are completely dumbfounded about this public health threat
I saw this movie yesterday. And just like you, I obtained more information afterwards. It is incredible that so little is known about the level of contamination with this chemical. And that so little is being done about it. I also find it worrying that there are so few CRITICAL search results when you google this topic / Du Pont / Teflon etc ... (well, at least with the search results in Germany). This is one of those films that I think should be shown in schools.
I'm late to this story but wow. Bravo Rob Bilott and Mark Ruffalo. I'd have no idea about any of this without their incredible work
6:00 the pain in Rob's eyes while Mark was praising his work shows the pain of over 20 yrs of struggle and now finally the world is seeing it and hopefully will be paying close attention and will really do something about it. This is afterall affecting the future of humanity whether we admit it or not.
The Film 'Dark Waters' brought me here.
wow thats crazy
Astounding
dark waters movie is completely unrelated, how did it bring you here. mind blowing.
Yup 🤣🤣
Creepy huh ?
No not really
I just watched this movie, not all superheroes wear capes, Rob Bilott is a superhero! May God continue to bless and protect him and his family.
I see Mark but where is Ruffalo? :O
Ruffalo is in Buffalo.
Lol
Let us also not forget about Mr. Wilbur Tennant. Even when feeling helpless he fought with everything that he has. He wanted the whole world to know so he went and took his chance on our beloved lawyer Mr. Rob Bilott who continued his fight up to this day.
Watching Rob talking made me realise how good of an actor Mark is, he fully emulated the mannerisms and speech to a tee
It's people like Rob Bilott who make the world a better place. Thank you for all you're doing
Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA). The health effects are shocking. Doctors tell you that it’s your lifestyle, what you eat, etc. that causes certain health problems, which is right but probably not in the way they mean.
You have a strong point. Why aren’t doctors investigating stuff like this? You live without food for a longtime but I think water & air are the most important since without thrm we’d die very quickly.
"It's your life style", we should blame ourselves for buying that stuff to make our lives "easy" but the consequences are devastating.
"what you eat", that causes certain health problems. It's not what we eat but what we use to cook what we eat
@@albertopalma1663 You do know it's in the water right. And you can't choose. The chemicals are in every living creature in the world.
@@rebekatalebi8046Doctors rely on scientific papers too, you know? If there weren't papers written about it, if the data is hidden, how were they supposed to know? Your practicing medical doctors often don't do this kind of research, it's often the university doctors who do, but even they need non-medical lab data.
Mark is a amazing human being...brilliant actor and activist. We need more people like him and Robert, fighting for us ✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼
I just watched they movie and I didn't know anything about this, and it's been around for more than twenty years!
I just saw this movie by accident clicking through my remote..My mind is blown...Thank you Mr.Bilott!
same here!!!
Me gonna watch it now... Along with covid, and & G 5..the world is too damaged too heal..
This typo has distracted everybody from the film and message they are trying to present!! This is one of the most important stories to be heard in our lifetime and action must be taken! Sadly it all boils down to money and how much corporations and greedy people can profit off of our lives.
"One of the biggest environmental contamination story in history and most of us don't even know about it" Anyone else just found out and is in absolute shock. My mom had told us to avoid teflon and we thought we were safe but omg it's in the entire nation's water supply.
*entire nation's BLOOD
Drink only DISTILLED WATER... all other sources contain all sorts of chemicals.
Teflon's health effect is uncertain. PFOA, on the other hand, which was used to manufacture teflon-based products is absolutely dangerous.
Where is Meghan and Abby (is she still away)?. They avoid climate issues to the core.
Denial is not just a river in Egypt.....( great statment....had to use it!)
I still cannot believe how this movie did not get anymore awards buzz specially for Mark Ruffalo’s heartbreaking, powerful and outstanding performance.
ruffalos words about rob were perfect, the persistence of rob is incredible and unmatched, is true hero
Rob is a man of integrity which is a rare quality to find in people these days especially in those working in corporates! Thank you Sir and to your family as well for 20 years of endurance and fight!
i love about Mark how humble he is
I love Mark too and his activism, but that lawyer guy is really humble too. A real serious type of guy.
Came here instantly after watching Dark Waters. Now I'm freaking out. What do I do? What do I NOT do? Am I dying?
SAME FEELING HERE
Start by changing your teflon appliances, pans, to porcelain enamel, cast iron or stainless steel. And when throwing them find a hazardous waste, don’t throw in the regular waste.
Same. Changing my appliances and also will never trust them with my health again. (Them meaning anyone but GOD I will research everything I bring into my home) I’m thankful I know this before bringing children into this world. 🤦♀️
Mark Ruffalo has played now two superheroes: Hulk and Rob Bilott!
Rob bilott and Hulk***
Rob Bilott 💪🏻.. An example of humanity and valor.. Thank you for yours and your families hard work and efforts 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
I love Mark "and" Ruffalo, they're BOTH great 👌
Such a treasure of a movie
Just watched the Movie. Had to check the story, I can't believe this company is still active and still rocking 20 Billion Dollars a year. Dupont is a single-handed poisoned 'all' life on earth.
Same. Watching docs then movie.
Yeah wtf
I saw a documentary about this on Netflix. I switched to all cast iron products!
Name? :)
This documentary was on the same lawyer Rob Bilott, "The Devil We Know"
I have long used cast iron or straight steel ones- avoid aluminum too because of alzheimer's ( like TFal- though some have it while some don't and Farberware. Cast Iron is good for getting some iron in your blood too, but can scratch glass top stoves like mine so I have to be careful on the range with it. How ro wash a pot with no coating (let it soak after boiling some water and baking soda in it etc. I can live with that !), but it is on everything and they haven't proven the safety of their replacement (which the first came up with in the 70s too) for it either so based upon their corporate track record I DON"T trust them PERIOD.
You can find many videos on you tube about this.
I'm using stainless steel.
A must watch film. Love this!
This film does look amazing
JuiceMyRandomness it is. I saw it, it’s great. This is the type of film that should win the Oscar for best pitcher.
IT IS ! I just saw it yesterday. Plan to buy it when it comes out for sale.
Going to buy Builott's book too. I remember reading the Times story. There is also a good Netflix doc on it now, but more so about the company and it than Rob's story about the pursuit for justice etc. I think DuPont started that Children's Hospital for children with birth defects and health problems , they started in the 40s in Delaware was because of all the problems they were (and probably still are, along with others) causing in workers, citizens. and consumer's children !
megahappy2beme his book is also on audible.
kudos to Rob Bilott, you have found your purpose in life! And Mark Ruffalo, what an awesome actor, love the movie! i'm gonna ditch all my teflons!
God bless this good man for his heroism
ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES I HAVE EVER SEEN- ABOVE & BEYOND ANY JANE FONDA MOVIES
Mark Ruffalo is getting older...but I'm still with it.
He's like the fine wine, older and better
Everybody does from the moment they're born.
Movie is number 1 in Canada April 2022 we love you Rob we appreciate you greatly. God bless you, your sons and your loyal wife. We Stan ♥️.
Mark is pro Bernie Sanders 😁
Good N' Plenty yes! Love him ♥️
Good N' Plenty only Mark and ruffulo
Yes! We gots professor Hulk!
So is Cardi B, Ariana Grande, John Cussack, Danny DeVito, Miley Cyrus, and Susan Sarandon. I love them all for it!
Im more interested in who Rob supports than a hollywood actor
The entire world should be a part of the class action lawsuit
This is just the tip of the ice berg! Every second this is happening!
i wouldn't mind just the tip of HIS iceberg
Yup.
Mark and Ruffalo? Someone’s fired
lol
Still there 16 hours later 😂😂
Just saw the movie today....It is AMAZING. Oh My Goodness - EVERYBODY needs to see this movie! So wish it got more airplay. Saw lots of the holiday movies over the season and had 2 I hadn't seen and saw they were leaving the theaters today so went and saw them both - Dark Waters was one of them - Best Holiday movie I saw in Nov, Dec or January!!!
Will watch it today
If you think the environment is the #1 issue. There is no better candidate on that issue than Bernie Sanders!
Thank you ,sir Mr. RUFFALO for story exposure,thank you putting the hero to forefront in front of you. You are truly kind & helping humanity, love ya!❤✝️!! Stay safe.!! We are behind you,Do not touch this man,you chemical water demons...!!! Thank you,Heroe!!Rob Bilot,thank you!!❤🎉❤🎉
3M poisened my whole town in Bavaria with the same chemical and they are still not hold accountable. Its disgusting.
Powerful and moving story and even more meaningful because it's true. Corporate greed, unaccountability and complete indifference to human suffering knows no bounds. Great work. Thanks for your work.
I just saw this movie and I was shocked at the levels corporations can stoop to , to make money. It is sad that companies like these whether it is chemicals, pharmaceuticals etc. All of them are getting away with murder and common man has no say. infact hats off to Rob Bilott to continue the fight as it is people like that give all of us hope. Thank you for not giving up and fighting for what is right.
Thanks for this work from humanity
Nossa admiração a esse homem , um advogado que fez e faz a diferença!
Thank you Rob Bilott's for fighting for all of us.
Mark Ruffalo is the sexiest man alive imo, he's so smart, vocal, and handsome af! And pro Bernie!
Steph V I would vote for him. People magazine are you listening?!!!😘😘😘😘😘
Yesss
i couldn't believe how unattractive he was on Dark Waters, really good actor lol
Dupont done poisoned us all
There are quite a few other prisoners our there as well.
Я Вами восхищаюсь!!! Побольше бы таких людей как Вы!
Just saw this film. I felt physically sick from disgust and indignation
Hero’s don’t wear capes. Well done guys xxx
Shout out to Rob Bilott and his family!! Thank you for doing the right thing.
Dark Waters is the most impressive movie I've seen recently.
Thank you Robert
After seeing parts of the movie Dark Waters, I've decided to no longer eat beef. I did not know about DuPont nor the contaminated water, cigarettes, pots & pans, and...cows. So, what I want to know is "Did ALL the farmers take that big loss killing, burning, and burying their contaminated cows or was that what the 'mad cow disease' was all about that supposedly came from beef that made it to market?" Is that why other countries were literally fighting at the border because they didn't want American beef in their country? I thought DuPont was a reputable company???! What is going on?! It states that once we have the chemicals in our bodies, we can never get them out causing all kinds of health issues. I feel so tainted!
No, even though the cows got crazy acting at the Farmer's, Mad Cow comes from the abnormality in a prion (protein found on the cells in the nervous system only) . They think it is due to multiple infectious diseases and there are diseases that cause nervous system problems & craziness on their own and causes malformation and damage to tissue after effects which is why getting ones' kid vaccinated is SO IMPORTANT !- think rabies, syphilis, various other hook viruses that attack nervous system tissue. Mad Cow started in the UK when contaminated feed using diseased sheep parts was fed to Cows there and spread through either selling the beef to the continent mainly or contaminated feed, or cows to other countries. The US actually had few cases of it and most occurred in the UK and then the European countries. The US cases mostly came from livestock bought in Canada which was contaminated from imported UK feed or stock. Stricter regulations were set and it is rare to hear about a new case . There are some bad natural diseases out there.
megahappy2beme
When you feed herbivores ( cattle) meat by-products, the consequences are BSE (mad cow disease).
Unfortunately farmers have abrogated their moral responsibility. Animals and human beings are paying the price.
God bless you, Rob.
Thank you Mr billot you are wonderful.
That's so cool that they were able to get both Mark and Ruffalo on the show at the same time
Yes to Rob Bilott and many thanks to him ! I've always thought, years ago, that there was something OFF about non-stick cookware, now I wonder what other products to be aware of.
Fireproof things. s like kids pajamas.....we heard in 80
Washing with hot h2o and bleach got it out but who knows?
brilliant work mr bilot thank you
Missed a great opportunity to reference leaded gasoline and he could have pointed to the cups on the table and said, 'its in there."
Wait what cups? The solo cup?
The water in the cups.
I basically live in Duponts back yard here in Beckley, West Virginia. I’m 39 years old and was completely unaware the world has been poisoned by this company. I’ve just lost my 54 year old mother to Colin cancer. It showed up in April 2020, she was diagnosed June 6 and died July 3, 2020. She had over 18 tumors and on June 1st she was paralyzed by one of the tumors that broke her neck. I’ve lost countless family members to cancer here in West Virginia. After watching this documentary it truly makes a grieving son wonder....what if ?
I’m so sorry 😢
Just this film today, after reading an article by Erin Brockovich.
To Rob Bilott, sir, thank you, thank you, thank you.
And to Mark Ruffalo, thank you for making movies that matter!
Rob is not just an American hero, but the world's. What an incredible human being and such a blessing to all. Thank you!
He is very much a hero. I grew up by a chemical dump in alliance,ohio. It has leeched into alliance, canton, and most of stark counties drinking water. Deer Creek Resevoir.
Love this actor!!!!
Thanks from France, Robert BILOTT for your work and determination, courage to fight against such big company to help people. Here in France, only 5 PFAS on 24 are measured on water.
If you haven’t seen it yet you must. It is fantastic.
Netflix doc the devil we know also covers this!
The movie just presents more what the lawyer was up against etc. besides it and is great to see (just saw it the other day). I have watched the Netflix doc and even read the Times article when it came out.
This is where film and journalism rise to their greatest heights- in advocating accountability
I LOVE YOU MARK RUFFALO 😭❤🙌
Robert is one of the most amazing people in the world !!
Buena película una gran historia
Таким людям как Роб Билотт , нужно ставить памятники при жизни.......
Same goes for Valery Legasov and all of the men and women who saved the world at Chernobyl. The entire world owes them a debt of gratitude as well.
MANY FOODS PROMOTED as "HEALTHY" and ALLOWED on SUPERMARKETS is another HUGE SOURCE of GOVERNMENT DISGRACE !
Love Mark wonderful actor ❤ and God bless Mr Bilott 🙏🏻🥰
Still here, huh?
Still here.
AMAZING MOVIE
To everyone that say movies are unimportant.
I can tell you of a long list of movies that helped me learned about stories I completely ignored, and I LOVE READING.
Robert Bilott est un héros, et je lui envoie toute ma gratitude pour les années de combat qu'il a enduré pour dénoncer cette affaire...Et merci au producteur de ce film d'avoir permis de diffuser cette histoire à un large public
Greetings from Ukraine.
I express my respect to Rob Bilott. this is a great man and a real hero.
This movie was exceptional and absolutely heartbreaking.😢💧💦
Bilott is a real life hero
This guy has been bogged down in so much paperwork.. it’s like he’s fought a war of paperwork
