I believe her death was caused by all the arsenic and led we have here day you see a bay . I still asked myself why i was never allowed to see her medical records. But again, why is that it was oh, i wasnt even allowed to take a picture of her gay. She lost her hair due to the chemotherapy and was completely bald later by a ship every time i wanted to take a photo of her, she said no mama, no. She didnt want to have her picture taken that way. Medical abominable. On her final day she said, come with me wait. I said to her later, darling medical. Very rarely she asked me if we dont. I said yes. And then ill be sleeping next to you. She put her head on my shoulder and drew her last breath. Even that i looked it was, it was like when a baby says mama for the 1st time you may know it. Mamma, a medical mama, she breathed mamma and at that moment i lost her you will never forget that. Ready ah ah no to some time or 14 years ago, i began retracing the steps from my hometown in swedens fat to my native country, chile, and the desert town of our rica. Americans thought id forgot to say 2 places that have been connected. My entire life wanted some unconnected by the mining company. Alida will either ah, mona had issue many people here a sig and thousands initially. They say its because of the ways it at the beginning of all funded there some to the waste thats left over after we finished mining for gold back at home. After weve extracted the Precious Metals from the or it melma viewed and feel. Weve made this film on to tell that story for that visa. Awesome. Hm. Yeah. I last so yellow to live. Im useless to death yet that next me is now a lush. Happy lampa. My 1st question did, how do you feel about what your country went in for has brought here. Okay, here. Why do you mean the toxic waste . Cynthia ha. I think my countrys responsible once i would and should do something to help all of you. I said, ill go put that aside to that. Ah, to amy in the mid 19 eighties when chili was ruled by a military dictatorship, bullied and shipped nearly 20000 tons of toxic sludge to a rica in northern. She lay till erica. Ah. M, the nun hugo halted almosha neat tweaks hilbert. Hopefully this lodge contained high levels of arsenic, old mercury and lead she lance couple luggage from l. T maloney kona for lead and paid that she lay in company promo, 1000000. 00 euros to dispose of the toxic waste. But only a fraction of the sludge was processed in promised furnaces, preston left li kunda box lumped. The rest was simply dumped into a pile on the outskirts of a rica and forgotten me order, scalable studded, except from alice until whos the modern day. And it stopped. It forced us project in the years that followed by a densely populated neighbourhood emerged right next to it. Off was her again. Live only that ah, at him mom that con, bullied and is a pillar of society. You might say that it helped sustain and provide a living to my community. But what does bullied and have to say about how swedish mining ways will ended up on the other side of the world . Upon less than you would be at this afternoon. Youre simply not interested in a fair portrayal of this issue or as bulletin as a company was almost do, sir, is bailey . Thats not true. We described bullied in as an Important Company that has done a lot for the community here than our big dental school. You know, plan on trying a connection between the people who work for bulletin to day and the situation and oscar gemini, of the of you get the idea that i dont think thats fair to the people who work for the company to day with her. And that out of bed, that may feel well working on this film. I eventually came into contact with one of bullied and former directors rove the sped buried. Was one of those responsible for shipping the toxic sludge to our rica. Ah ha ha. We led us to wagner. He returned to over eager because he wanted to see with his own eyes the consequences of his decision. Ah, i hear the music over there where it says casey stain. If you who got her by my children used to play there in about a kid on the where did you hear about the young man who died of the tumor in his head . He was also poisoned. He will give them no one ever told him what was going on. The doctors in santiago didnt say anything because they said it was just that the people here uneasy. G, goofy of your 10 year old children have to take these 3 months of it and the doctor see that theyre insulin resistant. I dont understand whats happening here. There are so many drugs in examination with what i dont understand this one. Elicit ross is rove. He doesnt speak spanish. Aloud. I bye. Beth . Yes. Well metre, then yes, this, let me, i got she had to have surgery today. Because of the toxic waste extra nipples grew on her year after mamma. Thats why she had surgery. But if she got pregnant, all of these nipples would have produced milk. Thats why they had to be removed. I am at it. It isnt your fault that came to them . No, i wouldnt say that. But i feel terribly sad about this and that bill and very, very angry. If id made a different decision, though, none of this material would ever have been sent here, not, not much own again. And when the lumen, again, when he came here to our account, when you eat, tommy came to my house and we talked for quite a while. They all explained the deal to us with delaware. Who am i remember that he was very emotionally affected after visiting the area and talking to the young people there after that experience and that he said the bulletin has to address the damage done to the people there. For me, it was a question of justice denito and human rights, if any, a good ago so that they might have what piece. Yeah. Demand is it, it went through that ego, my sampler, am i from from all rodrigo, and i have known each other for 14 years. One of him, hes from a rica and is an anthropologist. Mendoza may be true when i 1st met him. He had begun working with the people affected by the toxic waste from sweden. He dog. Today hes probably the person who knows the most about the waste scandal, lina rica in chile, both that she lay and stayed, and promo that the company that received the ways men were convicted in court some to him and a small group of victims received compensation for the damage they suffered in elite and their lot on the arbiter men bully them, but bullied and has never been taken to court. I thought a target, ho, laden has avoided commenting on the a rica case whenever possible. Medical mathematica found that they probably assume the case has been forgotten about clump with welcome. Kimberly. Hey, you are now, but i, i, id like to speak to eva wooten. Yes. Hey, you wanna . My name is johan uber from carrot law firm and stocker, yahoo and her standing upa legions legal representative. Yes. Hurrying and go on the im her im calling because of the exports of toxic mining waste to the mid 1080 chilling partition. I assume youre familiar with that, though at the all to some of nathan. Ive been looking into this case for a while. I it together with some colleagues from sweden, she lee and the u. S. And weve prepared a lawsuit against bulletin about armitage. Cassandras answer come boldly, dont ah count can said malformations bone and joint pain. The waste thats believed in ship to chile in the 1980s. This is dale, causing serious hom today says that the amount of 800 people from a Poor Community in the desert of northern chile have lost a claim against the Swedish Company mm. With the shuttle it feels good to see that there are people who are pursuing the matter in a way that we as a feel make is on able to do it. Kenyatta if he had or tito from the court cases the result of 4 years of preparation which began after the release of a documentary film. As much as the report showed children played in the pile of toxic waste, which was full of arsenic lead, and mercury milan, the waste came from sweden and bullied. And none of this would have happened if the waste had stayed and swayed out a study. Ah, we were struck by how symbolic how representative it was of cases of this type. There are many, many situations like this around the world where typically multinational corporations based and developed countries do things overseas that they would never dream about doing in their own country. Ah lewis gordon lewis gordon is the founder of an american Non Profit Organization backed by private donors that provides Legal Support to environmental cases around the world. He and a team, a swedish lawyers watched our film yet eco. Why are we be too late . I wish for each one of you a broom believe between the or it is very crucial for become involved in another stablish to name, we have case middleton. This was the case i dreamt told when i was in law school to represent the week against the mighty. This is step tried to let him know is this in here. Its flattened out of the had a plot, this is your city o f. That bull the place where bo ladens waste was kept until 1998 when she lane authorities instructed promo to move the waist about a kilometer away. Sedans coming, but for 14 years before that, the sludge was located next to a residential area. Volta ixl, math, had a door nellikka. If you, on all the people he is say that by that time, toxic dust had spread across the entire area. Say that if to not play them how to study it, its your middle that a thank you for how to fool problems still existed. Yeah, i saw the live before we were talking about when the waste was moved in 1988 when it arrived here in 1995 before the waste is still here. Its unbelievable when you watch your film, in fact, its hard to grasp how close the houses actually are, who not, and nobody there knew anything in follow up. Nobody knew what it was or some loss of the wind blows from here, straight over there. And indiana say, and nobody knew what it was like them back then there wasnt even any walls when this will built later. Mommy, the kids we used to come here to play. Mommy, that was easy to get inside went up what he ended up, the children would play her. What were some of the things they would do specifically come, why the m a on equal . They were piles where kids would play in the didnt some of them build castles with the montana at thought on bought some extra. Joselyn is one of the many children who grew up in this neighbourhood. In the 1st time i met her, she was 10 years old. The home of t o, i lived with her family when i was in a rica when that are more on that your body with and this class had to novick. So i watched her grow up on my visits to a rica, and soon shell have a baby herself, scone shell for bon mm. Where it is just to live over there. This is simply of the amount of fat because im pregnant. My baby is sharing my blood, or youre suffering from drama from that or, and arsenic, and as a me arsenic. As anything the now youre going to have a new member of the family. I only wish that the baby is born healthy in. Wow. If i figured that id assume with fidel city, i knew that 8000 people in all were tested and 2010 out of 8000 samples. You can still 6600 were examined by lab and santiago means, and arsenic was confirmed at some of the diesel. So in the 6600 samples for arsenic poisoning was confirmed. And 12. 9 percent of them, which is approximately 8 on the persons ctc. Yes. By a 100 load here. Were already part of the lawsuit. If i just that minority of the local residence, 825 people with out of a group of 15000, we were 18000 different persona a possible to join a new group of clements. We can add people who have suffered harm, even though the case is already before the court and sweden. If you have arsenic levels of 30 or more, you can join the lawsuit level. Lydia with this is a court case. We might win or we might lose just like in any lawsuit. Ok, thank you. Just think of how many thousands of tons of toxic waste was stored here. It was contaminated with 14 different heavy metals. We presented the case dont. Belinda wouldnt have been dealing with a huge company. It has a great deal of power in europe over the next level. Ca them unless given the opportunity to super legion in a Swedish Court thats already a success even without knowing what will come of it. If the if the and good me now oh i lost your lars. Youre responsible for launching the biggest lawsuit weve ever had here. So era really . Very Common Health and home garage. Huh. Thank you. So this is our home for 8 weeks. Well pub recording more for each guy. Yeah. Can you watch out, dan polluters from f. Were coming for you . Ah, it all been all. Dont start robin aldens tom. Im a lawyer representing bulletin in this case, a border and i wont be we know fairly well what theyll say. Weve been exchanging arguments for several years now. Its been a long journey job. My name is leslie nielsen, needle, head of communications at Belinda Boley them. So boldly the hard so bullied and has done nothing wrong here of it. So lisa edder showing our standpoint, is that we have a responsibility to clarify what happened, support the cleans with back in the fact that everything is on the table. Oh, it is an emotional chase is an important case for many people including gleaton ball. So we have to get to the bottom of this would almost be what it and get closer to the truth lovable would necessarily be the most spectacular truth from it. It should be that theyve been in the full truth. There are some oliver older than it must have been thus far left at a fresh trace. Its luck. The case is the 1st of its kind in sweden. Both sides have submitted thousands of pages documenting the various investigations a show and the evidence take these police thing. Mm. Ah see is it for the hearing will begin in case t. 1012 slash 13, between the adrica plaintiff and bullied and mineral ab long board us either both sides have brought in witnesses and scientists from all over the world explorer experts on chile and law, meteorologists, toxicologist, soil experts, chemists semi metella, jessica politicians, and former employees, and directors were schafer under meaning 7 holden, utter cassie, them till example. Expanded. Plaintiffs from america will present experts who will support the claim, that toxic levels of arsenic were found in that urine operation. And that it originates from bullied and smell to sludge. All fun. I am a professor at Chapman University in california. And my expert opinion, the smelter sludge, is a clear and significant a source of arsenic in the area to discounted as a source of arsenic. It takes that tremendous stretch of imagination when i 1st heard from one of the lawyers that the bullet and waste had 17 percent arsenic. I didnt believe it. Ive never heard anything like that. A pile of waste that close to a city to with that high of arsenic concentration in one moment. How did you tell your children that their father is going to die in let me lessen. They thought you thought he was my reason for everything he wanted. You to and they took, came from me ascetic with abby, this is could because he a little less than darrows good of him. In theory we have plaintiffs here as well. I got the 2011 study sure that there are high levels of arsenic here. Anyhow. Albany, the honeywell if youre gonna read this woman who lived in the house with the bars of them, she sold the house and died of cancer. Danny, take on and live next door. She had an aggressive cancer in her head and died to the new for you. He died. Im e s, and the wife of her son had a baby who died. But her son doesnt want to talk to anyone about it or hear anything about the contamination of a year. And another neighbor mighty subpoena had the stomach cancer. The woman who bought her house had a tumor on her face, put in the men across from her, also had cancer with me. And then theres so many cases in yes, it seems like every one here and marty on madina. She had ovarian cancer. Well defined by the time she died, the cancer had spread everywhere. Then theres mrs. Yaya who also died of cancer. It started in her years and spread that and then theres mrs. Teresas husband, who also died of cancer, he had lung cancer and skin cancer gum to libyan, and then mottos. Father wast, i thought i did. No more melanie hurry, irv reger, i guess. Whats the Health Situation like in other parts of attica . Is he gets a home in the area near the disposal site is very striking. You know, that we can in place not only compared to the rest of america in dummy, but to all of she little but a, him, brutal cancer. When we started our research and 25. 00 a, we didnt find higher rates, i can start in, but the will f. But to day it are cases in almost every family that in the areas near the disposal site, the level to level rate of cancer is much, much higher than in the rest of kilo differently enough in the gutter. Janevalyn santo lasagna. Re a been dog who hung up for listening to him was very interesting. He paints a picture of what he sees as the situation in the region to us. But as so often, i dont believe his account holds up as evidence. It could be that in 1998, when people became aware that a big pile of potentially Hazardous Materials were stored there and they began to see it as the cause for all sorts of things for you. It became an explanation for all sorts of things. Pacific gloria clogged ah offs on that as to melody, a rica and bullied and are a world apart like 2 worlds that never meet the reality of what is happening on the other side of the world you seems far, far away, long or less than under. Estes hey you, im me for now you had to live in all my father worked the bullied me and visited chile when the sledge was being sold on a deal to have. Im sure he died in 2008 another off, but often talked about how they, he and his bosses knew that the waste would not be handled properly. In chile, the case haunted him for the rest of his life turned down to sleep. The pony that my father spent his entire working life and then in his last years he was dragged into the sand. Little at the sla the funds hold saddam submitted until you meet them or to toilet. So even in the mid 19 eighties, there were people who doubted that the slides would be handled safely and chilly on accordions. Father, Martin Lindstrom, appears on rovers, fed buried photo from a rica. No. You amanda, that a papa. Oh yes, thats my father. Definitely. Mm. Mm. Men bulletins advocate say that thought, oh ladens, lawyers say that the company because of its visits to a rica who gray to precautions than they were required to. And that it was impossible to foresee that people would be exposed to the ways up. Manage was gillex bonita from holland. Yes, you get him to disarm all sorts of hindsight and foresight are 2 different things. And not hindsight, there is an elegant english phrase. He himes side bias sham, which describes a psychological phenomenon where we as human beings, when we think about an event in hindsight from will tend to believe that it was much more predictable than it really was more than incredible by just vol. Threw up money for left to cash advance. People in this town wont even dare to think that believe may have done anything wrong. Theyre the only thing my father sent to that effect was, as we understood that they wouldnt take care of the material pro play. He never said i understood it. Ya, but i dont know what he meant by. We may be only live out that way. Or maybe there was some kind of consensus among mist off that theyd never have dad speak about it openly. La bowman say ad hoc official, Marty LindseyMartin Lindstrom passed away several years ago and anna caught in cant find anything in her fathers note books that refers to the regrets her father expressed pins. Theres nothing that could be used as evidence in the courtroom. Ah, conversation and you see, so 12 get out with you. I just want to add that yet. I want justice to be done. Here, tara beaver. My. My son was killed. Kin metro us, me who killed your son. Wiley bo lead a and my dad, the senate, the took secretarial here and he knew exactly what they were doing. Ox are and the we have no further question there truly, knowledge fill them out. Lessons on your side, please. I know your honor locked up out of the opposing party, has no questions the hearing us over now before. So to time is spot for one other or weve been here for almost 2 mother the p. C. O did. And i dare say that this was bulletins plan, talk article. This is what happened was when big multinational corporations are accused of causing damage with their activity. The sushi huge sums are spent on experts and consulting muscle from recall to produce hundreds of pages worth of reports of missy mall, all with the goal of obscuring your what is evident, i believe, and hope that this court has the ability for you to see through all that all awesome. Thank you for more got c e m. Ah bully them in that of manish name. All it into lead that almost caught bullied and claims that the plaintiff suffered no damages. And if they did it, its not the result of their waste. Bullied and doesnt even describe it as waste. Boom. Didnt salad material of negative value. Did the rest of the out a negative to bad . Ah. Put him in that. Ok. So they also said that if bleeding and as the a rica side claims them, it has contributed to a humana tearing catastrophe. Then this was something the company could never have predicted say, ah, how are you . Good, thanks. A bit nervous, nervous. That it . Yes. Oh, and you course still such as emotional for 11 years of work boils down to a single minute litany an organ. Alva i nerve in the metal is are you ready for her . From okay, here we go. Okay. The verdict goes looked for maam. Mm hm. Okay. Oh, i need to talk to the people here. Whats the verdict at bowie and what . What am i what . Oh ah ha the interest roseville. Miss. Ha, ha, ha, ha ha, that of course were very disappointed we hoped for a different outcome longer more. There are many, many people in the city of attica, or who stayed up all night. They are night its not fair. Its not fair. You know who and our lives, and now theyre not even taking responsibility for it. I have no idea what we can do. Now. This proves nothing. Well that it proves is that money talks and they have plenty of that go either with billable epic, the directly in the grammar. Were sorry we raised your hopes, right . But i also want to ask for your forgiveness. Ill be more than you dont have to do that. Rodrigo. Were very grateful for all the work you have done. Yeah, i know you thought that he would win. So bizarre. We all for what we would when. But how do i im in shock. Yeah, i can hardly knew. We didnt stand a challenge. So let me know. Life was a goals, believers role or during this preceding bulletins rule and the material from bronze care. When an organ have been thoroughly scrutinized and animal, the conclusion is unequivocal via them. I call on the residence of erica, we want to try to accept the results of the investigation brochure. And this trial im afraid to say she left a teen threat hardballs, but the my to she, lance, the Swedish Court decided to apply. She lay in law. So the statute of limitations hadnt expired when i bought it bought the verdict states that there is no proven connection between bullied and toxic waste and the arsenic found in peoples urine to sierra despite the fact that the court says bullied and acted negligently and it states that this is not relevant because a level of 30 micrograms of arsenic per late of urine does not represent hom. Instead, the court said a new level for damages at 100. 00 micrograms, which is what bullied and had asked for philip. Ha o. Andrew caught them up on and the to the to be seen to me and women men the men that ok, so the lawyers for rica of course do not agree with the verdict. But they also say that the court has made an important error on empty and hooks up in chile, the Supreme Court decided that 9000. 00 micrograms of arsenic per liter of urine all represents hom, which the Swedish Court did not take into consideration if the lawyers are convinced that they can win on appeal on them can be not you hold them. Oh i i can i see us. I got a 30 minute voting. Just read the key in bio. Ah, there it is. Oh, she yes. Ill handle most. Im sorry. It didnt work. The court now decided to apply swedish law to the case also on a lease where a place if its the statute of limitations. Dont hor, replugged. I cant believe it. They just mr. You to the statute limitations and didnt consider anything else. No, they took the easy way out with all the Pharmacy Companies from set up only than a comment on them. So bullied and got away with it because they did nothing all this time. They didnt act in a timely manner. And so they avoided taking responsibility. My philosophy francois delia distola, saw upon his call that you can bury toxic waste and your liability ends as soon as its in the ground you then in 10 years its no longer your problem. The children affected by bullied and toxic waste. Have their claims barred by the statute of limitations before theyre even born. Or this could be out of the dont the number of photos ah, yes for. Its difficult to accept that justice has been done. Ah, dont students get a quote from to let a court should have told the whole truth and but now that the court has ruled that the statute of limitations has passed levels, the truth never even got a full hearing. So we will never know what the Justice System believes about bullied and his responsibility for what happened in rica for decimal. Yeah, yeah i, we should play my rights as citizens. Its not our fault. They got money from the government to bring that toxic waste that contaminated our life. We have to join forces and fight for justice. Ah ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah, ah eco africa. They are real specialists in soil care. But you should avoid using insecticides. An initiative in uganda is teaching farmers about sustainable agriculture.
