He is an award-winning journalist, an editor of spiritual publications, a popular New Thought speaker, and a lifelong movie buff. She hasn't been to either charm school or law school, but Erin Brockovich, played by Julia Roberts, is naturally learned in the subject of caring. Erin is a person who cares about others. She also cares enough about herself to work for respect from others. Inspiring people don't have to be saints or sages, have religious degrees, or be sports or movie stars.
Inspirational people come in all shapes and sizes and from all backgrounds.
Eric Brockovich is based quite faithfully on a true story. Erin is a twice-divorced mother of three who is scraping the bottom of finances and job possibilities when she bullies herself into a file job in a Los Angeles law firm. Many residents have contracted cancer and other illnesses at an alarming rate, which Erin determines is a result of the chromium in the small community's ground water. The brash, outspoken Erin is incensed. Unable to resist Erin's determination, Masry agrees to pursue the case against the powerful utility company.
