In the intriguing world of "Dark Waters," truth collides with corporate secrecy.

Héloïse Thouément conducts risk assessments of pollutants and sheds some light on the often-hidden world of harmful chemical releases into nature. And with their underreported presence in our environment, they illuminate the critical role of knowledge to shape adequate regulations. In parallel, this remarkable film exposes the shadows of corporate accountability, inviting us to ponder our individual agency and responsibilities. The characters in "Dark Waters" become mirrors, and toxicologist Nico van den Brink holds up that mirror. Let’s reflect on our own position on the spectrum of environmental awareness and explore how scientists aim to break the indifference to contamination in order to ignite change.
The introduction is in English, the movie is English spoken en subtitled in Dutch.
