If anything, that’s ultimately a big part of the moral this particular film is trying to display for its potential audience.
As you might expect, everyone, including Haynes himself, said that they certainly hope that it will.
As shown, whistleblowing is dangerous and difficult, but it’s ultimately worth the time because it makes things easier for those who follow in the footsteps of such actions.
Which leads to the final question I had not only for Todd Haynes, but also to Tim Robbins, Mark Ruffalo and Rob Bilott when I spoke to each of them at that Dark Waters press junket: could this movie make it easier for future whistleblowers to come forward?
