Mark Ruffalo on the ‘evil’ company that poisoned every person on the planet – then kept it secret
A new Stan documentary featuring the Hollywood actor and based on the work of Herald and Age journalist Carrie Fellner investigates 3M’s disastrous industrial waterproofing agent.
Oscar-nominated actor Mark Ruffalo will feature in a new Australian documentary exposing the multibillion-dollar David and Goliath battle to hold the world’s largest chemical companies to account for decades of toxic contamination.
Revealed: How To Poison A Planet exposes the shocking extent to which man-made “forever chemicals” used in dozens of household products from school uniforms and contact lenses to make-up and cookware have spread globally and can now be found in the bloodstream of 98 per cent of the world’s population.
“There were companies and people that knew the nature and extent of this threat but did it anyway,” Ruffalo says in the documentary. “This is so incredibly evil.”
The documentary, which will screen on Stan, is an investigation by The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age journalist Carrie Fellner in collaboration with director Katrina McGowan of iKandy Films. Stan and this masthead are owned by Nine Entertainment Co.
