Robert Bilott is the tenacious environmental lawyer who became “DuPont’s worst nightmare,” according to The New York Times. The story in his book, Exposure: Poisoned Water, Corporate Greed, and One Lawyer’s Twenty-Year Battle Against Dupont, inspired the major motion picture, Dark Waters, featuring Academy Award winner Mark Ruffalo as Rob Bilott. Rob was a corporate defense attorney for eight years until he took on an environmental suit that upended his entire career—and exposed a brazen, decades-long history of chemical pollution. His epic 20-year legal battle against DuPont consumed his life and exposed the worst case of corporate coverup and environmental contamination in modern history. Rob will take you on the remarkable legal journey that ultimately revealed massive chemical contamination of unprecedented scale and scope—impacting virtually every living thing on this planet.
