Featured reviews
I was scrolling through my Facebook yesterday when I saw a preview for Dark Waters. I'm looked up who it was based on because I was intrigued . Needless to say 1 NY Times article and this documentary. Has me repeating it to anyone who will listen. The sheer negligence of blatant disregard for human life on the companies involved is disgusting to say the least. My daughter who is 10 was watching this and her face when she realized what we were watching affected her as well was heart breaking. Great documentary. Good enough you had a 10 year old with attention issues to sit and watch.
Regardless of any facts involving the companies here you can see how much danger we are in and the corruption involved. Taken off Netflix just shows the corruption there also.

As a former resident of Parkersburg, I always heard people talk about the danger of the chemicals produced and disposed of by the multiple plants in the area but never thought much of it because I never had more than hearsay.
This documentary is excellent investigative journalism and exposes how DuPont corporate's blasé attitude about toxic chemicals hurt their employees health and the health of surrounding communities.
Im so glad this was produced and I hope it prompts government agencies to take more action in regard to unregulated and potentially dangerous chemicals.
This Chemical is in ALL our blood, in the plants in the animals and as long as it's a BIG GREEDY MONEY CORPORATION nothing bad happens to them. They get a slap on the hand, throw a few dollars at the problem and keep on going. Just proof that this world SUCKS and the only one looking out for you and your family is YOU! And your still screwed cause this poison is in your blood already, but as long as your food don't stick to the pan, the government says it's A-OK! Because switching out this chemical would be too expensive for Dupont and they are just gonna switch it with another toxic chemical anyway. God HELP US! Because No ONE ELSE is Going to. :(
This is an eye opening, gut turning, factual film that tells the stories of people who have been directly affected by PFOA and PFOS chemicals. This is not a history story, it applies in our world now, and in our future.
These chemicals are the biggest threat to having safe and accessible drinking water, and it is effecting water systems across our country and the world!! The more our public learns the better we can protect ourselves. Don't take your safe tap water for granted And dont assume big corporations care about you and the water you drink.
