The series chronicles the fight against a town council accused of mishandling toxic waste, with Netflix billing it as a "story of community resilience in the face of institutional negligence and greed - and the power of parents' love for their children".
Robert Carlyle takes on the role of councillor Sam Hagen, a supporter of the campaign and whistleblower against the council's misconducts, while James Bond actor Rory Kinnear portrays lawyer Des Collins who constructed the case against Corby Borough Council.
Writer Jack Thorne, known for 'Toxic Town,' 'The Swimmers,' and 'His Dark Materials,' was also unaware of the case, often referred to as "the British Erin Brockovich," in which local mothers challenged the town's leadership over the alleged mishandling of toxic waste.
With the support of solicitor Des Collins, they took Corby Borough Council to the High Court in London, where a judge established a link between toxic waste and birth defects in February 2009.
The gripping new Netflix drama Toxic Town is set to unveil the heart-wrenching tale of mothers battling for truth and justice concerning their children's health.
