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.

In episode one we explore the deadly events of that night and hear from those who experienced it and are still supporting those living with the consequences.
