Netflix four-part drama series Toxic Town, takes inspiration from one of the UK’s biggest environmental scandals - the Corby poisonings. The show tells the story of the women at the heart of the poisonings, particularly the mothers of children born with limb differences who took on a monumental battle for justice.
With a stellar cast including Jodie Whittaker, Aimee-Lou Wood and Claudia Jessie, the series takes viewers through the years the families fight took, as a terrible truth begins to unfold. Recently, Netflix viewers were interested in the Apple Cider Vinegar true story and what happened to antagonist Belle Gibson in the aftermath of the show's events - now, we take a look at the real story of the Corby poisonings, and the extraordinary real women behind the characters seen on screen.
