Since several years, Greenpeace fights against the fall into oblivion and for justice for the victims of the Bhopal disaster.
On December 3th 1984 in Bhopal, India, a gas leak of an american factory ( the Union Carbide, bought out since by Dow chemical) producing pesticides has caused the death of 800 people in the days that followed. There is at least 150 000 people, children, women and men still suffering from permanent and disabling injury caused by this disaster. Yet very few had been done to help victims and help them live and work again.
For the commemoration of the 20 years of Bhopal’s disaster, Greenpeace wish to draw attention to a fight that diserve to be supported with a photographic exhibition. This exhibition gathers black and white negatives of Raghu Rai, famous indian photographer and the color pictures of Viola Berlanda, young italian photographer. Both of them gives us the account of their stay in Bhopal and the encounter they made, through a collection of portraits, realists and heartbreaking, that cannot leave unmoved.
