Based on the real-life story of one of the UK’s biggest environmental scandals, TOXIC TOWN is the story of the people at the heart of the Corby poisonings. Focusing on the mothers, who took on a David and Goliath battle for justice, the series traces through the years of their fight as a terrible truth comes to the surface. In this tragic true case, industrial waste from steel-working industry led to massive birth defects among the babies born in the town. A group of mothers whose children had developed birth defects confronted their town’s leadership about its alleged mismanagement of toxic waste materials. The case was largely hidden in media and press and most people don't even know about it.
