An Exclusive Screening of the Film Dark Waters and a Q&A session with the Lawyer Featured, Mr Robert Bilott

MTYBA is very excited to announce that we will be holding a showing of the film Dark Waters which tells the story of lawyer Robert Bilott’s 15-year ordeal fighting for those whose health has been severely affected by the actions of a chemical company in the USA. Following the screening there will be a Question and Answer segment with Mr Billott about the cases and the film.

Dark Waters is described by RottenTomatoes.com as

  • Inspired by a shocking true story, a tenacious attorney (Mark Ruffalo) uncovers a dark secret that connects a growing number of unexplained deaths due to one of the world's largest corporations. In the process, he risks everything -- his future, his family, and his own life -- to expose the truth.
