The document discusses the 2000 film Erin Brockovich, addressing several key issues: 1) The film depicts how the Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) criminally polluted water in Hinkley, California through hexavalent chromium contamination. 2) A company may intentionally pollute to save money rather than pay for proper disposal of toxic waste. This suggests corporate crimes are sometimes motivated by profit. 3) Erin Brockovich worked tirelessly on the legal case despite it harming her ability to care for her children, raising questions about work-life balance, especially for women.
