"The Devil We Know."
It's a documentary that has just been released.
It is a compelling story of a very dangerous chemical that was released upon the public.
Quite frankly, Mike Papantonio with the Levin Papantonio law firm, had a hand in bringing
some resolution to a very tragic situation.
Take us back to how this began.
For 50 years, DuPont emptied their waste into the Ohio River.
The waste was a toxin.
It was a toxin called C8.
It affected the drinking water of 70,000 people.
This story tells about what that did to 70,000 people.
There were clusters of cancer.
There were birth defects.
There were neurological illnesses, but the ugliest thing about this, the reason it's
called "The Devil We Know" is because they were aware of how dangerous it was.
Their documents, all the way back to 1972, show that we know it causes cancer.
Again, that title itself is very striking to me.
When I was looking at one of the trailers for the documentary, it was just so compelling
how that came about and you discovered this, "The Devil We Know."
Yeah.
It's an interesting thing.
Sometimes Sue, in a deposition, things kind of take their own course.
I had the document in the deposition the first time, that it was used.
I think the importance of what of that document was their stating that we know we have a produce
that causes cancer.
They were looking for an alternative that they thought was safer, but the cost to make
that transition was so expensive, they said, "Well, we'll just stick with the devil we
know."
At the top of the document, it calls it the devil, and then in the document, it talks
about, we're going to stay with the devil we know.
Devil we know.
But this C8.
Now let's bring that a little closer to home because it is not something that just affected
somebody else somewhere else.
Well C8 has become so ubiquitous, they're actually finding it, as this film talks about
... By the way, these are hugely award winning filmmakers.
They've won Oscars.
They're very capable, but when they started looking at everything, and they started talking
to scientists all over the world, this has become so ubiquitous, it's actually in the
liver of polar bears in the Arctic.
It's virtually in every infant that's born nowadays.
There's some element of C8.
God didn't put it there.
It's a chemical.
It's a dangerous chemical.
It was, it's created by 3M, by DuPont.
That's the only reason it's in their blood.
It's a problem.
We've got to solve it.
Well, we talk about this problem and we talk about the company and the people who are responsible
for this.
I mean these are people, you know I mean, they've got family members.
They live and breathe and they drink the water.
They're part of a community.
You wouldn't think that they would do anything to harm themselves.
You wouldn't think so, but when the money's right, they make a choice like that.
We have the problem right here in Pensacola.
It's right in our water.
It hasn't been adequately addressed, even right here in Pensacola.
We're being handled, we're being hired to handle these cases all over the country because
it's showing up in certain pockets all over the country.
For people who want more information, who want to see "The Devil We Know" how do you
access this documentary?
Well, they go to devilweknow.com.
The movie will be released on Netflix in January, but they can get the movie right now, I think
right off of iTunes.
Sundance is actually pushing this.
Sundance Film Festival actually pushes this documentary pretty hard.
It's going to be available.
All right.
Listen, thank you so much for coming in and sharing and enlightening us about this.
You seem to find yourself in the middle of a lot of these types of cases.
Is this something that's really near and dear to your heart, the environmental?
Well it is.
It's something I've done since I was a very young lawyer, and it matters in the long run.
You want to have a legacy and say I accomplished something.
Hopefully I can make the environment a little better.
All right.
Mike Papantonio, thank you so much for being with us.
Thank you Sue.
