To explore the Pfas world from a cinematic perspective, we recommend watching the movie "Dark Waters" ("Cattive Acque" in Italian), which tells the story unfolded in the United States (West Virginia), where the chemical corporation DuPont for decades poured a great amount of contaminant substances in the environment, also affecting drinking water. An American lawyer, Robert Bilott, will lead the class action against the global chemical giant.

"Dark Waters", released last February in italian theaters and recently available also on TV channels (Sky platform), is a legal thriller film directed by Todd Haynes and written by Mario Correa and Matthew Michael Carnahan. It stars Mark Ruffalo as Bilott, along with Anne Hathaway, Tim Robbins, Bill Camp, Victor Garber, Mare Winningham, William Jackson Harper, and Bill Pullman.
