Norbury's Confession: A Story of the Asbestos Industry in America

Born into a life of wealth and privilege at the dawn of the twentieth century, Robert Norbury’s life became a self-indulgent train wreck of lies and murder as he determined to do whatever was necessary to keep the Pittman-Simons Corporation healthy and profitable. Is it still called murder if lies and deception are the only weapons used? “Norbury’s Confession” is set against a backdrop of the American century, a kinescope of vignettes showing how the lives of the patrician Norbury family of New York eventually intersect with a hard working farm family from the American Midwest. Bill Lambie, a child of the depression and a battle-hardened frontline veteran of the Second World War, never even heard of Robert Norbury until a life defining moment reveals that this obdurate stranger held Bill’s very life in his hand.
