For the first time five mothers detail their heart-break: veteran marines, wives and daughters most of whom are sick themselves, all of whom lost babies after being exposed to the toxic water at Camp Lejeune. Their journeys are filled with pain and fury as they confront the ways they say they’ve been lied to and deceived for decades. We hear from scientists, whistle-blowers and insiders including the General called by Congress to testify about one of the biggest contaminations and cover-ups in U.S. history.
