• Resumen

  • The sleepy fishing village of Minamata Japan, 1956: physicians are baffled by a 5-year-old girl who has trouble walking and talking. Her suite of symptoms is like nothing the medics have seen before. Two days later, the girl's sister develops the same symptoms--and other cases quickly follow. Here, Sokol talks about mercury poisoning.
