Summary
This is the untold story of Britain's worst foetal poisoning scandal since Thalidomide, when a group of ordinary mothers took on the establishment and won. Set in a post-industrial Northamptonshire town, the Corby Litigation Case was a landmark case with worldwide legal and medical ramifications - the first time ever that a court has recognised a link between airborne toxins and foetal development damage. At the heart of the story is a group of young mothers with children with hand and feet deformities fighting hard for answers, a ruthless local council, and tenacious human rights lawyer who took on a near-impossible 10-year battle. It is an astonishing fight for justice story often referred to as the 'British Erin Brockovich' case
