Relating the story of a tiny town pitted against a strong corporation, this
account strives to voice the concerns of local communities when they come into
conflict with corporate profits. With the help of Erin Brockovich, the small
town of Yarloop in Western Australia is fighting its powerful neighbor, Alcoa
World Alumina. Their struggle is over social, health, and environmental concerns
surrounding Alcoa's Wagerup alumina refinery. The stories told here are shared
by communities around the world amidst ongoing industrialization and resultant
collisions between social and economic interests. Depicting life under corporate
influence, this study explicitly illustrates that profits matter-but not more
than people and place.
