Whilst one of us queries the less believable moments from the film, the other takes a deep dive into the fact behind the fiction to educate us and answer… is that really how it went down?

'Erin Brockovich' (2000)

This week we get bogged down in the mire of a groundwater contamination scandal that blighted a small community in California. After a spate of comedy dramas and rom-coms, Julia Roberts' turn as a single mother, single-handedly taking a large corporation to task over their single-minded disregard for public health earned her a much-deserved Oscar. But did the real life character deserve the same level of credit? Was the outcome seen as a victory in the eyes of those affected? And how did this story end up in front of Danny DeVito?! Join us to find out on That's Not How It Went Down!
