CinemAmbiente in cooperation with Circoscrizione VI - Torino, organizes the film exhibition 'Ecokids 2011', screenings for the primary schools of the city. All the events will be introducedby an environmental expert.
The film narrates the real story of Erin Brockovich, a young mother fighting against PG&E, a big industry whose waste has polluted the water bearing stratum of an American town causing many deaths and diseases among its residents. Thanks to her job at a friend's legal office, Erin unexpectedly discovers some medical analyses in the company's file. She tries to convince the victims to institute a civil action in the trial, and gradually all the people accept. Thanks to her intervention PG&E is forced to stop using chromium in the factory compressors and to refund the residents.
