This investigation uncovers the truth behind one of the largest automotive scandals in history, known as Dieselgate. It began with three engineers in the United States who discovered that diesel cars, notably Volkswagen’s models, emitted far more pollutants on the road than during lab tests.
The revelation exposed deliberate software manipulation, allowing cars to cheat emissions regulations. The scandal rippled worldwide, implicating major European manufacturers like PSA and Renault.
Beyond corporate deceit, the documentary highlights its alarming public health consequences, with thousands of premature deaths linked to excessive pollution.
A gripping exposé on greed, accountability, and its impact on our environment. Original Title: Diesel, The Industry's Smokescreen Director : Jules Giraudat
