Watch the movie “Dark Waters” by Todd Haynes and write a ONE PAGE essay about the connections between the movie and the readings. I have linked the readings below. You will have to watch the movie on YouTube or somewhere else. (Then answer the 3 discussion questions about the movie for the second page.)
Read the Introduction through the heading called “What We have Learned So Far.”

Read Intro page and look at more if you’re feeling brave, specifically section 7 on health effects. https://pfas-1.itrcweb.org/1-introduction/
*Then answer these three discussion questions about the movie: (these answers do not have to be very long) this is for the second page.
1. I found parallels in this movie with the government brushing things under the rug with how the government is brushing over the Ohio derailment situation with all the toxic chemicals released. What other situations have happened like this?
2. Do you think Dupont’s contamination of unregulated chemicals in a smaller/less developed town is because of classism? Why?
3. In the scene where the class action was being filed, it was noted that Medical monitoring is a claim now permitted in Virginia for a class action— meaning liability for mere exposure. Do you think as far as science goes, this is a reasonable claim? Do you think that Dupont was liable even if they had not known about water contamination for mere exposure?
