<b>The largest direct-action settlement in American history. And the town that won it is still dying.</b><br /><br />Garret Fisher concludes the Erin Brockovich story — covering the legal strategy that turned 634 plaintiffs into the most powerful class-action force PG&amp;E had ever faced, the $333 million settlement that made history, and the $2.5 million bonus check that changed Erin's life overnight. Then the part the movie doesn't show: the chromium plume that kept growing after the settlement. The school that closed. The houses that were bought and bulldozed. The fire captain whose parents died from the water she grew up drinking, who reluctantly packed her family and left anyway. And Erin Brockovich's own assessment of what Hinkley looks like three decades later: "Everything's boarded. It's a ghost town. That's a good way to end a community in America — poison it and its people."<br /><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1309939807262443" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Join our new FB groups page here.
