The Minamata Story: An EcoTragedy

Sean Michael Wilson

4.9/5 (30071 ratings)

Description:A powerful graphic novel /manga that tells the story of Minamata disease, a debilitating and sometimes fatal condition caused by the Chisso chemical factory's careless release of methylmercury into the waters of the coastal community of Minamata in southern Japan. First identified in 1956, it became a hot topic in Japan in the 1970s and 80s, growing into an iconic struggle between people versus corporations and government agencies. The event is also the subject of the 2020 Andrew Levitas directed Johnny Depp film, Minamata. This struggle is relevant today, not simply because many people are still living with the disease but also because, in this time of growing concern over the safety of our environment--viz. Flint, Michigan--Minamata gives us as a very moving example of such human-caused environmental disasters and what we can do about them.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
