An intensely personal drama based on one of Australia's most shocking corporate scandals, Devil's Dust tells the story of ordinary Australians caught in a web of deception in the James Hardie asbestos saga. Spanning four decades, Devil's Dust shows how industrial manufacturer James Hardie first covered up its knowledge of the dangers of its asbestos mining and products and then threaten compensation plans by moving the company overseas.

Devil's Dust Audience Reviews

BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
TweetyonIMDB I don't believe I fully understood the appalling conditions confronting asbestos workers until I viewed this film. The scenes in the factory . . . the workers covered from top to toe in asbestos dust . . . laughing it off in typical Aussie style "she'll be right, mate!", made my blood run cold. And the poor aboriginals working the mines - doesn't bear thinking of. The poor innocents! Shame James Hardie! No wonder it hasn't been repeated on Australian television like so many other series.Similar to Erin Brockovich, this is a story of courage and determination- depicting how a handful of people CAN expose and win against a corrupt giant. A good, solid script, good direction and good performances all round, particularly by Anthony Hayes who won Best Actor for his role as Bernie Banton.
John Doolan I just finished watching the 2nd part of this mini series and must say that everyone involved in the production and screening is to be applauded. This production was near flawless in terms of the writing, authentic performances and direction. The actor who played Bernie Banton put in a very nuanced performance, balancing melancholy and the larrakin spirit. Nothing about this film felt forced and is one of the few times I have watched an Australian drama that felt authentic. I urge you to view it and read Matt Peacocks book. This truly shameful episode is ongoing as by some estimates asbestos related disease in this country is still yet to peak. There are people who live in this country dedicated to bringing us the truth and for that I am thankful.
