Erin Brockovich

Last week we started to watch a movie called "Erin Brockovich" in class. Julia Roberts plays Erin, the main character in this movie. Erin is a single mother of three small kids, and on top of that she is unemployed. Then se was in a car accident. She fought in court, but lost her case. After some time she ended up getting a job at a lawyer's office - which happened to be the same lawyer she used regarding the car accident. During work she discovers a case she finds interesting, and she decides to look closer into it. As she is digging for more information she begins to find out that PG&E (a big company) might have something to do with all the people who have gotten sick in one specific area. Erin clearly wants to make a difference, and she believes that if she fights hard enough she can make PG&E pay for what they have done. It is not always so easy to make a big difference on your own, but if you work hard enough you may achieve something.

We will hopefully watch the rest of the movie on Friday, so then I will continue this entry after that!
