Description:

Just as the Great Depression grabbed America by the throat, Robert Norbury became chief legal counsel for the Pittman-Simons Corporation, a major player in the asbestos industry. He was born into a life of privilege and wealth as the twentieth century dawned, but his life became a self-indulgent train wreck that evolved into a seamy tale of lies and murder as he became determined to do whatever was needed to keep the Pittman-Simons Corporation healthy and profitable. Is it still called murder if the only weapon used is a lie?“A Cannibal Country” 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 City eventually intersect with a hard working farm family from the American Midwest, the Lambie family of Minnesota. Bill Lambie was a child of the depression and a battle-hardened, front-line veteran of the Second World War who had never even heard of Robert Norbury until a life defining moment reveals that this obdurate stranger held Bill's life in his hand.
