Raymond Kawamata was growing roses on his farm on the Big Island of Hawaii when he noticed some discoloration on the flowers. In time, it became apparent that the problem, significant enough to jeopardize his very livelihood, came from a mis-formulated DuPont fungicide called Benlate. Raymond's suit against DuPont would make national news as one of the few that DuPont refused to settle, forcing Raymond into a ten-year legal battle where DuPont was intent on using every means at its disposal to not only defeat Raymond, but to crush him. With a small but determined team of attorneys, Raymond accepted the fight. Too Big to Lose is the story of his case told against the backdrop of a legal system that favors the wealthy. With his wife Linda, Raymond still makes his home on the Big Island, and still runs his farm, long-since converted from roses to tomatoes
