A pair of recently released documentary films are attempting to help the public gain awareness regarding the dangers of the asbestos industry and the benefits that legal action can have for individuals that want to get back at companies that have harmed them.
The Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization recently announced it would be hosting an ?international livestreaming? of the film Breathless on their website on September 26 at 6:30 EST. The film, which was directed by Canadian filmmaker Kathleen Mullen, details the death of her father from asbestos diseases caused by work in Canadian mines. The film also addresses the controversy surrounding the Canadian asbestos industry that still exists today.
The film will precede a fifteen minute question and answer session via Twitter with Mullen and ADAO Co-Founder Linda Reinstein.
?ADAO is thrilled to be able to bring this critical issue to the forefront through the incredible film, Breathtaking. It is through the new avenues of digital technology and social media that we are seeing awareness about asbestos hazards expand rapidly around the globe,? said Reinstein.
Hot Coffee is another film that recently premiered on HBO as part of the network?s Summer Documentary Series. While not dealing with asbestos lawsuits directly ? it tells the story of Stella Liebeck, an elderly woman who sued McDonalds for money she needed to cover medical costs after the restaurant?s coffee severely burned her.
While the film does not directly deal with asbestos lawsuits, mesothelioma support groups have come out in support of the film since mesothelioma lawsuits are similar in many ways and faced similar criticism over the years that Liebeck?s suit did.
For those receiving mesothelioma treatment who have previously worked in a profession where you were regularly exposed to high amounts of asbestos, there may be reason to speak with a mesothelioma attorney regarding a possible lawsuit. Contact us for a free consultation to see if a mesothelioma law firm can help to get you a monetary asbestos settlement from a former employer who may be at fault for an asbestos-related illness.
