First episode December 2nd

Forty years ago, on the night of December 2nd 1984, water entered the chemical storage tank 610 at the Union Carbide India plant in Bhopal, causing an exothermic reaction that released a deadly cloud of gas into the air which was blown for miles across the city exposing more than 500,000 people to the deadly and enduring effects of methyl isocynate. 

In Bhopal: Stories of an Ecocide we tell explore the history, social, political and economic drivers behind the  world’s worst industrial disaster and its devastating - and ongoing - human and environmental impacts.
