CINEMA LAW MEETING

Erin is a single mother of three children. Hired after already pushing her luck once at a law firm, she discovers an old case file and decides, once again on her own, to build a case for a class action lawsuit on behalf of all the victims of widespread pollution.
This film is, of course, the story of an American myth, the one that says that willpower can achieve anything in society. But it is also an excellent description of the American class action procedure. It is also an excellent basis for discussing the differences with the "French-style group action."
