Erin Brockovitch

            
             This is the story of how one woman with determination and feeling for her fellow Americans took in a large corporation and won. It shows that perseverance and not necessarily college degrees can get the job done. .
             Erin is a young single mother with three children. In the opening of the movie she is trying to get a job she just doesn't have the background they are looking for. She is involved in a car accident and after the case is thrown out of court she shows up at her lawyer's office and demands work. Her sense of style might not be what the office expects, but she does keep it interesting. She proves to be a good investigator, and when illness of outstanding proportions start showing up in a area surrounded by a water treatment plant she really starts digging. The problem Erin has is she's like a dog with a bone. Once she starts she can't stop. Even when it affected her relationship with her boyfriend she just couldn't stop.
             When the courts make the lawsuit more difficult she doesn't give up. When the attorneys take over her investigation she still didn't stop. To date she is involved in similar lawsuits, and when her children as teenagers had substance abuse problems she didn't give up. She found the nest treatment available and placed them. She continues to this day for those who need a voice.
