📍On the night of 2–3 December 1984, a leak from the Union Carbide pesticide plant in the central Indian city of Bhopal released over forty tonnes of methyl isocyanate gas, exposing more than half a million people to one of the deadliest industrial disasters in recorded history. More than 30,000 lives were lost, and over four decades later, over 600,000 survivors continue to experience chronic illnesses and intergenerational health effects caused by chemical exposure.
📍To mark the 41st anniversary of the tragedy, No More Bhopals presents a memorial film screening that revisits the night of the gas leak and its enduring aftermath. The film offers an entry point into conversations about survival, memory, and the politics of care in a toxic world.
📍A post-screening discussion will be held with Dr. Satinath Sarangi, Founder and Director of the Sambhavana Trust Clinic, a local community organisation providing care to the event’s survivors. The discussion will be moderated by and Yash Gupta, a second-generation survivor of the tragedy, and the Anticolonial Cineclub of the University of Münster. This event marks the third in the annual Bhopal Gas Tragedy Memorial Screenings, previously organized at the University of Münster, and continues the effort to foster spaces of remembrance and reflection through film and dialogue.
Together, we remember those lost, stand with those still fighting for justice, and affirm the call: No More Bhopals.
