 *2) Free movie screening of "Bhopal - A Prayer for Rain"* (poster
attached). Filmed in India, the movie traces the lives of those living in
Bhopal during the lead-up to what is still the world’s biggest chemical
disaster through to its tragic aftermath, which many feel has still not
been addressed, and which continues to have a major impact on peoples’
lives today. The victims of the Bhopal disaster have still, to this day,
never received an official apology from the Indian or American government.
