A Prayer for Rain
“30 years have passed. It's time to tell their story.”
Thirty years on from the 1984 Union Carbide plant malfunction, the consequences of which are tragically ongoing, A Prayer for Rain is the powerful and moving story of the Bhopal tragedy, one of the great corporate and environmental scandals of the last half-century. It dramatises the dependence of the local community on the chemical plant that will eventually cause catastrophe, and the series of oversights that led to an event that stands as a benchmark for corporate irresponsibility in the developing world.
This film feels like a heavy, unflinching look at a devastating historical event. It's a somber and urgent drama that highlights corporate irresponsibility and its lasting impact on a community. A truly haunting and thought-provoking experience.
