SUMMARY:3rd i Co-presents at Laborfest
DESCRIPTION:3rd i Films co-presents at\nLaborfest\, the FilmWorks United International Working Class Film & Video Festival \nBHOPALI\nWith introduction by Dr. Jaysi Chander \nIn 1984 in Bhopali\, India\, at the Union Carbide plant\, a deadly gas leak killed over 20\,000 people. The company now owned by Dow Chemical refused to properly maintain the safety equipment in the plant\, and their criminal negligence cost the lives of workers and members of the community. Today\, hundreds of thousands of Bhopal families are still suffering from this man-made catastrophe\, and are fighting for compensation and justice. \nIt was the worst industrial accident in the world\, yet\, Union Carbide executives have not spent a day in jail\, and Dow refuses to properly care of the thousands of workers and their families who are still suffering for their cutting of costs. \nThis film was made to continue to struggle to break the information censorship by the corporate media. \nContinuing industrial disasters show that these corporations are not only out of control\, but also flagrantly engaged in practices leading to the murder of workers and residents in the drive for greater profits at any cost. \nAlso on the Program:\nTHE MACHINIST\n50mins\, 2010\nDirected by Hannan Majid & Richard York \nThis important film shows the story of Bangladeshi garment workers by following three Dhaka garment workers. It looks at their everyday lives\, their struggles at home\, the constant battles they face with their factory owners\, and puts a face to the men and women who make clothes for GAP\, Walmart\, and other companies. The owners of these factories\, who are also in the Bangladesh parliament\, have murdered union organizers and violently prevent their workers from gaining any labor and human rights. \nThrough illuminating the lives of these workers\, the film explains why the recent industrial disasters are a logical result of the corruption and corporate control of the government of Bangladesh.
