This the 40th anniversary of the Union Carbide industrial disaster in Bhopal, Indian that killed and injured tens of thousands and continues to cause sickness and genetic diseases. Two women survivors who are community activists visited the US for a national tour and were interviewed while they were in Oakland, California. Dow which took over Union Carbide continues to resist the struggle for justice, healthcare and proper compensation for the thousands of victims and the government has repressed residents organizing to get clean water and healthcare from Dow.
