'One Night In Bhopal' is an exceptional new documentary by the BBC that reveals how and why an American-owned chemical factory that was meant to bring prosperity to the people of an Indian city, instead brought death and destruction. By mixing drama, documentary, graphics and archive material, the program provides extraordinary insight into the world's worst industrial disaster. Through the testimony of key witnesses, this documentary reveals the events as they unfolded and how Union Carbide responded to the crisis. It also gives a picture of the survivors today and their continuing health effects from the toxic gas.
