00:00 People putting these chemicals in our environment.
00:03 From here to Australia.
00:04 PFOS chemicals have been used in so many different products over the last 70 years.
00:11 But scientists concluded that PFOS are likely to cause cancer.
00:16 It's intense, man. It's huge.
00:18 3M, the only company that made these chemicals, knew PFOS was toxic.
00:23 We are getting into general population's blood.
00:27 And yet they told nobody anything.
00:30 All these kids were dying of cancer.
00:32 Basically on the doorstep of 3M's headquarters.
00:35 Generation after generation exposed in the name of profits.
00:39 That's the goal of our trial. To tell that story.
00:42 This story, it's playing out all over the world now.
00:46 Wreck Bay in Australia. Devastation's been caused.
00:50 PFOS bleached out from defence force bases.
00:53 All these different cancers have come to our community.
00:56 10 brothers, all problems.
00:58 We found a massive brain tumour.
01:00 Our land's been poisoned.
01:02 People need to be made accountable.
01:03 The Wreck Bay community take class action against the Commonwealth of Australia.
01:07 We've lost a lot.
01:09 90% of 3M's PFOS was produced after they learned it was toxic.
01:14 After it killed monkeys.
01:16 This has to be the most explosive information that I've found.
01:22 How could this happen?
01:25 I can't see anything that's more important than seeing this through.
01:29 Every time you turn a stone over, you just find something new.
01:33 We're talking about worldwide contamination.
01:36 This is so incredibly evil.
