Liz Bonnin hosts this new six-part series, the first episode of which was released on February 26, that tells the story of the heart-breaking events leading up to the worst environmental tragedy in Brazilian history – the 2015 Mariana Dam disaster. It has led to the UK's largest class action lawsuit ever, as some 700,000 plaintiffs are still seeking justice from Anglo-Australian mining giant BHP through the English and Welsh courts in a £36bn case. Bonnin says: "From the moment I heard about the story of the Mariana Dam disaster I was gripped. It’s been a true honour to be able to tell it from the perspective of the communities affected and the hundreds of thousands of people still fighting for justice.”
