Justice for Bhopal, 20 years Later- 25'
Justice for Bhopal, is a glimpse of the courage and tenacity of people fighting for justice. It's a view of the daily life of citizens that have chosen to act in every possible way. It's a homage to simple people that make a difference.
20 years ago one of the biggest industrial disasters recorded in history struck the destiny of hundreds of thousands of people. Bhopal has since become the icon of double sided globalisation. 20 years later, the after effects of the establishment of the Union Carbide factory have far from diminshed. Contamination of the environment by carcinogenic products is now a major concern.
"I've been really moved by the people I've met and that would be a pity not to be able to tell their story. After 20 years the situation is alarming. Simple measures could be taken to solve local problems. The cleaning of the premises, the supply of water to contaminated areas and medical research are still current affairs. It is time to remember and act". Valerie Aubert Pietri, Director 25' documentary, PAL, Dec 2004
