*About the Documentary:*
BHOPALI is a feature length documentary about the world’s worst industrial
disaster, the 1984 Union Carbide gas leak in Bhopal, India. Thousands were
killed and up to 500,000 were affected by the contaminants. 26 years have
passed since the disaster, yet the suffering continues and, for the victims,
justice has yet to be seen. Award winning director Van Maximilian Carlson
presents a modern portrait of shattered lives in the community surrounding
the abandoned Union Carbide factory. We focus on survivors of the disaster
and their families as they continue life amongst the indelible remainders of
contamination and death. Set against a backdrop of high stakes activism,
global politics, and human rights advocacy, this film explores the ongoing
struggle for justice against Union Carbide, the American corporation
responsible for the disaster. Featuring Noam Chomsky, Satinath Sarangi, and
attorney Rajan Sharma.
