ERIN BROCKOVICH (2000) is directed by Steven Soderbergh, starring Julia Roberts who won the Academy Award, Golden Globe, Screen Actors' Guild Award and BAFTA for Best Actress. Written by Susannah Grant, it is based on a true story of Erin Brockovich’s first fight against the American West Coast energy giant Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E). An unemployed and single mother, outspoken and outright, with trashy clothes and earthy manners, Erin struggles to be taken seriously both, at work and in life. Also starring Albert Finney as Ed Masry, Erin’s lawyer, he hires her as his legal assistant and together they bring down a California power company accused of polluting a city's water supply. A highly interesting story line, backed with exceptionally strong and moving acting by the cast makes the movie an absolute must-watch. It’s a story from which we can all learn something; a story that inspires us to believe in the system and fight against corporate injustice on our own personal level; it’s the kind of thing which shows that each and every person can make a big difference.
