The Teflon Deception: How DuPont Poisoned the World and Got Away With It

This 2025 documentary, directed by Stephanie Soechtig, exposes DuPont’s decades-long cover-up of the health and environmental dangers of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a chemical used in Teflon production. Focusing on Parkersburg, West Virginia, it details how DuPont’s dumping of PFOA contaminated water supplies, causing cancer and birth defects. Through interviews with victims, whistleblowers, and lawyer Rob Bilott, plus internal documents, the film reveals corporate negligence and regulatory failures, highlighting the global presence of “forever chemicals” in blood and ecosystems.
