BHOPAL: SEARCH FOR JUSTICE
In 1984, the Union Carbide pesticide plant in Bhopal,
India, leaked poisonous methyl isocyanate gas, killing at least 15,000 people.
Hundreds of thousands more were permanently maimed. Twenty years later, amid
charges of corruption, graft and suppression of medical and environmental
research about the tragedy, the victims are still not adequately compensated
and cared for.
CRAPSHOOT: THE GAMBLE WITH OUR WASTES
A hazardous mix of waste is flushed into the sewer every
day. The billions of litres of water - combined with unknown quantities of
chemicals, solvents, heavy metals, human waste and food - where does it all
go? And what does it do to us? This bold documentary questions whether the
sewer is actually compounding our waste problems. While scientists warn of
links between sewage practices and potential health risks, activists,
engineers and concerned citizens challenge our fundamental attitudes to waste.
