Assume Nothing: Killer Dust

Cover-ups, corporate espionage, fightbacks - and death ... An old Northern Ireland headline leads Ophelia Byrne into the global story of 'Killer Dust': asbestos. In a crime thriller style investigation, she sets out to find out who knew what, when, about one of the most dangerous building materials on the planet. Mixing original research with moving personal stories, family recordings, rare archive, and fresh interview, Ophelia exposes reckless pursuit of profit. Spotlighting people who fought and died for the truth, Killer Dust was discussed at a Parliamentary hearing. "Excellent ... gobsmacking to hear these things spoken out loud" (The Telegraph)
