'Dark Waters' director Todd Haynes says so many of the people affected by DuPont helped with the film that it was only right to include them on screen.
Writer Mario Correa’s real-life story of corporate malfeasance is about a single hero, yes, but also about not waiting for heroes to fight systems of power
It so happened that his scene was the very last shot on the last day of filming. Says Haynes, “As is customary in these movies, we didn’t get to the scene until about 2 in the morning, and the whole crew was freezing-cold, as always, and we were feeling emotional and delicate — and then Bucky appears.
Even though it was a long day, “it was so fun, I wouldn’t take a second away, just seeing how everything interacts and how everyone works together,” Bailey says. He likewise praises. “You’re always able to fight, you’re always able to have a voice, even when it seems like no one is listening. I’m a statement of fact for that. For so many years we tried to have a voice, we tried to seek litigation against DuPont, and were laughed away. ‘They’re too big, you’re one person.
As an advocate, Bailey has testified before Congress and participated in the documentary “The Devil We Know,” about DuPont’s actions. But he pauses when considering what he’d like to see happen as a result of this film’s wider reach. “I don’t really wish bad things to happen to people or companies,” he says. “I want people to be successful. I want companies to be successful. But the biggest thing is I want them to own up to what they did.
