What Happened
Channel 4 has launched a new three-part series titled Dirty Business, featuring actors David Thewlis and Jason Watkins. The series delves into a decade-long investigation into the pollution of England’s waterways by water companies. It follows the story of Ash Smith and Peter Hammond, who uncover a tragic history of negligence linked to the death of an eight-year-old girl due to E. coli contamination.
Why It Matters
The series highlights the ongoing issues surrounding water company regulations and the lack of accountability for corporate misconduct. As reported, the water companies have been accused of dumping sewage into natural resources, with no executives facing prosecution. The launch coincided with the unveiling of a provocative public art installation, The Fountain of Filth, which critiques the government’s failure to address these environmental concerns.
What’s Next
As Dirty Business airs, it is expected to spark discussions about the need for stricter regulations and accountability in the water industry. The series aims to raise awareness of the impact of corporate negligence on communities and the environment, potentially influencing public opinion and policy changes regarding water management in the UK.
