The Bhopal Disaster



Hunting The Corporate Killers (2003)


On December 2, 1984 a toxic gas cloud from the American-owned Union Carbide pesticide factory in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India silently enveloped the surrounding city. The highly poisonous gas, methyl isocyanate, also known as MIC, was used by the factory to make the pesticide Sevin.

The gas ate away at victims’ lungs and throats, causing the deaths of up to 10,000 people. “People were begging to die. They didn’t want to live,” recalls survivor Rashida Bi. Even now 150,000 people are chronically affected. They blame Union Carbide’s former CEO, Warren Anderson, for their suffering and want him to stand trial in India. “It’s not revenge. It’s to show the world that someone like him cannot get off scot-free,” explains Bi. They are angry that none of the plant’s safety systems were working on the night of the accident and countless safety warnings were ignored. Anderson was arrested on charges of culpable homicide but was later released on bail and allowed to leave India. He has never returned. His friends claim he is being persecuted for who he is, not what he did. But if the Chief Executive can’t be held responsible, who can?

Bhopal: Continuing Legacy Of A Disaster (2024)


Surekha Lakkewar can still remember the evening of December 2, 1984: "Our eyes suddenly started to hurt, as if someone had rubbed chilies into them, and we could hardly breathe." Tons of toxic gases had escaped from the pesticide factory Union Carbide. Thousands of people died, hundreds of thousands were injured. Families cannot forget the Bhopal gas leak of 1984 and struggle with the aftermath up until today.
