The story of the journalist Rajkumar Keswani, who foretold the world's worst industrial accident in the Indian city of Bhopal in 1984. Unfortunately, nobody believed him.

Tens of thousands of people died and many more suffered long term illnesses when lethal methyl isocyanate gas leaked from the Union Carbide plant in Bhopal in central India on 2 December 1984.

For the previous two years, one man had been predicting that Bhopal was an accident waiting to happen. Forty years ago, the Bhopali journalist Rajkumar Keswani wrote his first article warning of the dangers posed by safety lapses and poor maintenance at the chemical plant. During a dogged investigation pitting him against political power, corporate money and the indifference of the media and public opinion, he never gave up.

This cinematic documentary - narrated by Narinder Samra and featuring key witnesses - tells Keswani's courageous story for the first time.
