Fans were moved to see Aimee Lou Wood in tears after meeting Tracey Taylor, the woman who inspired her character in the Netflix series “Toxic Town.”
Aimee Lou Wood couldn’t hold back her tears when she met Tracey Taylor, the woman who inspired her character in Netflix’s new series “Toxic Town.” The production is based on Tracey’s true story.
“Toxic Town” tells the story of three mothers from the town of Corby who fought to hold steel factory owners accountable for dumping toxic waste, which led to an increase in birth defects among newborns.
In a behind-the-scenes video, the cast of the series meets the three mothers, including Tracey, who took their fight to court to seek justice.
During her meeting with Aimee Lou Wood, known for “The White Lotus“, Tracey Taylor showed a photo of her daughter Shelby, who passed away four days after birth due to the town’s contamination.
The actress couldn’t hold back her tears upon seeing the photo of the mother holding her daughter in her arms.
“What you did for her, I am eternally grateful for, because you brought justice for her, for us, and we will always be thankful. So, thank you so much,” said Tracey, as Aimee Lou Wood broke down even more.
“Heartbreaking. I admire their strength in fighting against those responsible after so much loss and suffering,” wrote a user in the comments on the YouTube video.
