One of our Keynotes, is Robert Bilott, an activist environmental lawyer. Robert Bilott, an attorney with the U.S. law firm Taft Stettinius & Hollister. In 2017, he received the Right Livelihood Award for exposing a decade's long history of chemical pollution, mobilizing local voices, and strengthening U.S. regulation on hazardous substances. Bilott’s involvement in the case against DuPont Chemical started years ago when a West Virginia farmer contacted him to report dead cattle afflicted with bloody lesions, hair loss, malformed hooves, and eyes glazed with an unnatural shade of blue. Bilott was a corporate attorney very familiar with Environmental Protection Agency regulations from his work defending companies accused of land and water contamination.
The case against DuPont Chemical, is turned into a movie and you can see the Official Trailer of the movie "The Devil We Know" at FYI:
