Wasting Libby chronicles decades of neglect by state and federal
agencies, which allowed the Grace corporation to reap millions in
profits from the largest vermiculite mine in the world, while knowingly
exposing generations of Montana residents to fatal levels of
asbestos-contaminated dust. Libby's story, which culminates in the 2009
criminal trial of the corporation's executives, is ultimately the tale
of the families who fought Grace for justice, who refused to sacrifice
their dignity even as they lost their lives.
With an introduction by actor and environmentalist Jeff Bridges.
