Semper Fi: Always Faithful

1 Review

This heartbreaking film chronicles a grieving father’s attempts to expose a massive cover-up of toxic water contamination at a Marine Base in North Carolina, which caused the death of his 9-year-old daughter and others. Playing out like a real-life ERIN BROCKOVICH, the film is a gripping example of the power documentaries have to call attention to outrageous injustices.

synopsis

When Master Sgt. Jerry Ensminger lost his 9 year old daughter to a rare type of leukemia, he wondered why. When the first hint of evidence about polluted wells at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune surfaced, he feared he had his answer. But he needed proof. Using unclassified documents, military contacts and other victims, he began his search for truth, justice and healing, leading him to discover the true horror that the Pentagon is the nation’s single biggest polluter. This dramatic, heart-breaking documentary is both a searing look at the military’s betrayal of its own and an emotional story of one man’s transformation into the activist he never imagined he’d become.
