This gripping documentary exposes the global crisis of toxic PFAS “forever chemicals” — and the corporate and regulatory failures that allowed them to spread. \nThe evening begins with a reception (6:30–7:00 PM) featuring drinks by Rhinegeist and HighGrain and lite bites by Kate’s Catering. \nA post-film discussion (8:30–9:00 PM) will feature renowned environmental attorney and Taft partner Robert Bilott (the real-life inspiration behind Dark Waters)\, Greater Cincinnati Water Works Superintendent of the Water Quality and Treatment Division Jeff Swertfeger\, and Ohio River Basin Alliance chair Chris Lorentz. \n \n  \n\nRob Bilott is a leading voice in the fight against PFAS pollution who has spent over three decades holding polluters accountable and advocating for clean water. His legal battle against DuPont is chronicled in the book Exposure\, and his work is featured in the films Dark Waters\, The Devil We Know\, and How to Poison a Planet. Rob is a recipient of the International Right Livelihood Award—also known as the “Alternative Nobel Prize.”\nJeff Swertfeger serves as the Superintendent of the Water Quality and Treatment Division at Greater Cincinnati Water Works. In this role\, he oversees the delivery of high-quality drinking water from source to tap. His responsibilities encompass water treatment at the utility’s two major plants and the distribution of water throughout the Greater Cincinnati region.\nDr. Chris Lorentz is a Professor of Biological Sciences and Director of the Environmental Science Program at Thomas More University\, and serves as Director of the Center for Ohio River Research & Education at the University’s Biology Field Station. He is also the Chair of the Ohio River Basin Alliance\, a non-profit organization working to set water resource priorities for the Ohio River Basin\, to sustain healthy ecosystems and communities\, and improve our water-dependent economies.\n\nThis special screening is sponsored by Taft Law.\nTo inquire about sponsorship opportunities\, contact: charlie@greenumbrella.org \nThank you to Cincinnati World Cinema for donating 100% of ticket sales to support Green Umbrella‘s work to create a thriving and resilient Greater Cincinnati.
