The Forum | Dark Waters

Every January, for the past five centuries, the World Economic Forum takes place at Davos, Switzerland, in a festival of billionaires, CEOs, and heads of states. Director Marcus Vetter received unprecedented access to the Forum and its founder, Klaus Schwab.  Schwab is driven by the belief that the meeting of private and public sectors should benefit all mankind and so he and his team admirably work to support such connections. Vetter manages to capture both the humane and political dimensions of this event and presents an intriguing, astute, and complex portrait of one of the world's most powerful and bustling domains.

In 1998, an attorney discovers that a chemical company has been polluting a region in West Virginia. What follows are decades of legal battles against a powerful corporation and confrontations with his own family and those affected by the disaster. Todd Haynes’s (Carol, Far from Heaven) new film is “exceedingly well executed and technically impeccable...” (New York Times).
