    It's about time someone has the courage to make a movie protecting the voiceless helpless people that have obviously been exposed to chemicals that causes all kinds of health issue including death. It's extremely sdisturbing that Dole thugs went around and brived many workers with a bunch of monies in order to get them to recant or turn agains the only voice that is defending them and even more unbelievable to read that judge Chaney is eating all of the Dole crap like some ignoramus, unbelieable the truth will reign and will come out and hopefully justice will be serve to all that are on Dole's brive payroll.

    Sincerely,
    Lori Brehm

    Yes, good luck with this project, and thank you for working so hard on this wonderful and revealing movie. Movies like yours are... ESSENTIAL.

    Dole should have deep shame. Their behavior is ignominious. Reprehensible. Detestable. They should reconsider their entire modus operendi, seeming to have lost touch with basic human decency, treating people with such dark abandon.
