Erin Brockovich is living proof that an ordinary person can change the world. As a Southern California law clerk, she spearheaded a successful lawsuit against a major company on behalf of hundreds of people who had unknowingly been exposed to toxic waste. Her efforts inspired the Oscar-winning feature film that bears her name, and led her to a successful career as an environmental activist and public speaker. In this episode, Erin Brockovich talks about taking on the corporate powers that be, and reveals what it's like to be played on screen by Julia Roberts.
See youtube Toxic Philadelphia. I'm terribly ill and having a nervous breakdown right now because the City of Philadelphia dug up a contaminated brownfield next to my house and exposed me to haz mat and the corrupt political of Philadelphia has been attacking me and denying all civil rights- threats- whistleblower retaliation - to cover up their crimes. I have bad ptsd but I have to keep going. I dont know if I will survive. Sometimes I want to be dead.

That's a horrible thing to vote on - the «person least likely to succeed»? High school is so shallow and pointless. I'm so glad my teen years or over!
