520    In 1996, an unprecedented decade-long courtroom battle was
       waged in Florida to help bring justice and hope to the 
       family of a young boy born with no eyes after his mother 
       was doused outside of a local u-pick farm by a chemical 
       fungicide believed to have caused his birth defect and the
       birth defects of many other children. It was a battle that
       nearly everyone but attorney Jim Ferraro deemed 
       unwinnable. After all, it involved one of the world's most
       powerful industrial giants. In the process, it was a fight
       that changed the landscape of tort law forever. Before it 
       was over Castillo-vs-DuPont would go down in history as 
       the first and one of the most important cases of its kind,
       setting precedent and also sparking a crucial debate over 
       the questionable use of what is known as the "junk-science
       defense." Blindsided is a blow-by-blow account of how a 
       lone attorney challenged a dangerous threat to public 
       health ... .and how the defenders never saw defeat coming.
       It's a real life David and Goliath story-a true courtroom 
       drama for the ages.
