Editor’s Note: This marks the second installment of the High Plains Films clip of the week—a new feature here at NewWest.Net in which each Friday on our pages, High Plains Films will be sharing a noteworthy film clip. This month, as the W.R. Grace trial grinds on in Missoula (click here for coverage), the clips will come from the High Plains feature documentary Libby, Montana, which explores the company’s contamination of the community. Below, filmmaker Doug Hawes-Davis explains the following clip:
In this short scene from our feature documentary, LIBBY, MONTANA, former WR Grace plant manager, Earl Lovick, talks about his knowledge of the hazards of the dust produced at the Libby mill. His commentary here is from a videotaped deposition recorded during a civil case against WR Grace in the 1990s. Lovick died in 1996.
For more information about the film, trailers, audio downloads, external links, reviews, blogs and more please visit either the official site for the film at High Plains site here or on the PBS site here.

I believe Lovick testimony will put the icing in this cake.Not that enough said to convict...Thank you for putting this out there for all to see.A need for all to see.How about a Libby Montana 2...Tens years after.And Libby continues to expose more people by selling Libby as safe.What did we learn in 1999? And for what? To make tons of money off of what was done to Libby and the people.Look who is selling Libby as safe.Stay away from Libby is what I say.The truth.
