Twenty
years without justice: The Bhopal Chemical Disaster
The
ICJB's 20th anniversary video was made by attorney-filmmaker
Sanford Lewis. Featuring Rasheeda Bee and Champa Devi Shukla,
2004 winners of the Goldman Award, "the Nobel Prize for
the Environment", speaking of their families' experiences
of THAT NIGHT, as the night of disaster is still known in
Bhopal, this short film traces the causes of the disaster,
the company's attempts at denial and cover-up, the continuing
plight of the victims and Carbide's second assault on the
Bhopalis, the deadly contamination leaking from its abandoned
plant.

ICJB's
secretly-shot video of survivors' attempt to begin a clean-up
of Union Carbide's abandoned and derelict factory in Bhopal
On 25th November 2002, Bhopal survivors and groups and
their supporters, including chemical waste disposal experts
entered the factory to begin containment of wastes lying in
the open air. The plan was to put the waste into secure drums,
lock it in a warehouse and hand the keys to the authorities.
The film was meant to be a record, but turned into an eye-opening
record of police brutality.

Yes
Men hoax
On December 3, 2004, the 20th anniversary of the Union Carbide
gas disaster, a Dow spokesman named Jude Finisterra appeared
in a Paris studio of the BBC to announce to an astonished
world that Dow was "doing the right thing", accepting
full responsibility for Bhopal and liquidating Union Carbide
to provide a $12 billion fund for compensation, clean-up and
remediation of the derelict factory, andlong term medical
care of the victims of gas- and water-poisonings. Dow would
also release long-withheld medical and scientific data about
the leaked gases and co-operate fully in the outstanding legal
cases. Finisterra was actually Andy
Bitchlbaum of the Yes Men. The hoax was widely broadcast
and Dow's share-price plummeted. The reason it was instantly
believed by all, survivors, activists and the BBC, to be true,
was that it was so obviously what Dow ought to have
done. And ought still to do.
