Synopsis

In Cincinnati in 1998, Robert Bilott is a lawyer who defends chemical companies. Then Wilbur Tennant, a farmer from Parkersburg, West Virginia, walks into his firm with videotapes of his cows: swollen organs, blackened teeth, tumours. Bilott decides to help, and he sues the chemical giant DuPont, demanding that it hand over its documents.
