Live Poll: Poison in the Well
The following films are all about large corporations poisoning the water that human beings cook with, bathe in, swim in, and drink. The most disturbing and frightening thing about these movies is that the stories didn't originate in the mind of a writer: five out of seven are true stories and the other two could easily pass as situations we've read about in newspapers. Which movie about poisoned water, and the fight to hold companies accountable, made you care about the issue the most?

'Know of any others? (The only criteria I'm using, besides it fitting the specific theme, is that if it's a documentary, because there are so many, it should have a minimum IMDb score of 7.0.) Thanks!

Depending on your scope, these both have the required corporate greed and industrial pollution/contamination elements, but you may want to read the plot summaries as they are a bit different.

FYI, I thought this Public Service Advertisement about clean water for the United Nations' World Water Day was interesting and powerful.

Which movie about poisoned water and the fight to hold companies and government accountable made you care the most?
That way you can retain the film Flint.
From Wikipedia:
The Flint water crisis was a public health crisis that started in 2014 after the drinking water for the city of Flint, Michigan was contaminated with lead and possibly Legionella bacteria. In April 2014, during a financial crisis, state-appointed emergency manager Darnell Earley changed Flint's water source from the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (sourced from Lake Huron and the Detroit River) to the Flint River. Residents complained about the taste, smell, and appearance of the water. Officials failed to apply corrosion inhibitors to the water, which resulted in lead from aging pipes leaching into the water supply, exposing around 100,000 residents to elevated lead levels. A pair of scientific studies confirmed that lead contamination was present in the water supply. ...
