| Abstract | Summary Based on true facts, Erin Brockovich tells the story of the extraordinary role of a woman, with no legal training and with a complicated family background, in the preparation and outcome of a successful lawsuit against the Pacific Gas and Electric Company for polluting water for human consumption with hexavalent chromium in Hinkley (California, USA). The film offers a view of the strategies used by large industrial corporations for the concealment of environmental risks, while it claims the value of nonexpert knowledge and the empowerment of the population as a whole in the defence of the right to health. |
