From the heart of New York City and the largest litigation involving drinking water in American history, to a small Australian Aboriginal community who take on their own David and Goliath battle, Revealed: How To Poison A Planet investigates how the use of a product as seemingly harmless as firefighting foam, has resulted in the contamination of communities all over the world. Since the 1950s, these toxic "forever chemicals" have spread to every corner of the globe and can now be found in the blood of 98% of the world’s population and are used in everyday household items from cookware, to clothing and makeup.
Revealed: How To Poison A Planet features award-winning actor and environmental activist Mark Ruffalo, and a formidable US legal team including environmental lawyers Rob Bilott and Ned McWilliams and trial lawyers Gary Douglas and Rebecca Newman who prepare to take on a global chemical company and ready to reveal explosive evidence, some of which has been suppressed for decades.
On home soil, Revealed: How To Poison A Planet in collaboration with The Sydney Morning Herald journalist Carrie Fellner and iKandy Films, is a joint investigation into global PFAS contamination, featuring the Wreck Bay Aboriginal community located on the pristine coastline of Jervis Bay on the south coast of NSW.
