The movie, A Civil Action, is about a lawyer who came across a case about chemicals being leaked into the water supply in Massachusetts. The water caused many children in eight different families to die from leukemia. Although the case was supposed to be thrown out, Jen saw potential. It costed 375,000 dollars per family to be involved in the case throughout the movie. This case ended up making Jen and his fellow lawyers broke at one point, and he turned down a $20 million dollar offer from Beatrice attorney. The lawyers showed little interest and sympathy for the case while the judge asked questions that have little to no answers. The plaintiff’s case had one last witness, but had a lack of resources which, in the end, left Jen Schlichtmann
