The Wheels of Justice: Water Contamination at Camp Lejeune

Tort Report 2024 - Torts6 - Torty Winner - Harvard Law School - Systemic Justice Project Summary: From 1953 to 1987, the water supply at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, North Carolina was contaminated by over 70 chemicals. This contamination caused a host of deadly illnesses, including various cancers. This documentary highlights the challenges faced by those exposed to chemical contaminants at Camp Lejeune. Through interviews with those leading the advocacy efforts for meaningful justice, we learn that although several major pieces of legislation have been passed in order to recognize the harms caused at Camp Lejeune and provide relief to affected individuals, the federal government has delayed the provision of meaningful relief. Interviewees: We would like to express our utmost appreciation to interviewees Jerry Ensminger, Michael Partain, and Jessie Hoerman. We would also like to give a special thank you to Jose Benavides.
