During the night of December 2, 1984, a highly toxic cloud of methyl-isocyanate gas leaked from a Union Carbide pesticide-producing plant and spread into the old Indian city of Bhopal, killing more than 3,000 people, according to the Indian government, and poisoned some 100,000 others. It was the worst industrial disaster of the 20th century. Twenty years on, justice has still not been done; there has been no trial, no verdict, no reparations. Had the disaster taken place in a Western country, there would have been serious repercussions. But it happened in Bhopal, a remote city somewhere in India. This is the story of the clash of two cultures — not that of the industrialized world vs. the Third World, but that of the culture of business vs. the culture of justice.
