The fact that one woman's passion could have such a positive effect on so many people around her, while at the same time completely transforming her life, is the ideal subject matter for the big screen.

Answer: False

6. What type of creature does Erin find floating in a ditch near PG&E?

Answer: frog

Answer: 333 million, 5 million

According to the first lawyer we see represent PG&E, the company is worth 28 billion dollars. After the contamination is exposed and linked back to PG&E headquarters, the company must pay 333 million to the residents of Hinkley, and the Jensens, the initial plaintiffs, receive 5 million.

15. How much money (in USD) does Ed give Erin as a bonus when the PG&E case is finally settled?
