Interwoven stories of people in India and US as they face dilemmas of life time in the months leading to the biggest industrial disaster in human history that claimed 10,000 innocent lives within a few hours. Inspired by real events. Set in December 1984, the film is based on true events when a devastating pesticide leak in Madhya Pradesh, central India, killed thousands of people. Filmed in India, BHOPAL: A PRAYER FOR RAIN traces the lives of those living in Bhopal during the lead-up to what is still the world's biggest chemical disaster through to its tragic aftermath, which many feel has still not been addressed, and which continues to have a major impact on peoples' lives today. The victims of the Bhopal disaster have still, to this day, never received an official apology from the Indian or American government. (HBO Europe)
