This documentary follows the story of a surviving 'snowman' from James Hardie Industries, Bernie Banton.
I knew a good man, a very good man, whom worked for James Hardy for 2 days and ended up with asbestosis. He never got to see his grandkids. Their lives are lessened without his presence. No company, no matter how powerful they may seem, nor however much they can spend on top lawyers should ever get away with robbing people of their lives, family members and loved ones.
