Nicole's media review- Erin Brockovich

The biographical film Erin Brockovich by Steven Soderbergh is a story of a woman who helped win the largest settlement ever paid in a direct-action lawsuit in the United States. Erin Brockovich fought against the energy corporation Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) who, as early as 1965, knew that the facility in Hinkley, California was contaminating the ground water with high levels of hexavalent chromium. This powerful film gives the viewers the message of no matter what education you might have or what economic state you are in, you should always work hard in what you believe in. Brockovich believes in the health of the environment and people.  The audience sees the affects of polluted water and what major harm it can bring to family, friends, and ecosystems; becoming aware of the world issue.
