Minamata | Japan's Cover-Up That Poisoned Generations
A quiet fishing town. Cats dancing themselves to death on the wharf. And a company that knew exactly why. This is what happens when companies choose profit over people. This week we're covering the Minamata incident: how a chemical company called Chisso spent decades dumping mercury into the waters of Minamata Bay, poisoning fish, animals, and eventually thousands of people, including children.
