Suzuki Headlines Bhopal Documentary Screening On November 24th, 2004, the new film Bhopal: The Search for Justice was screened at the Engineering Teaching and Learning Complex of the University of Alberta, Canada. Sponsors of the screening included University of Alberta International, the Asian Youth Club, the Canadian Kerala Cultural Association of Alberta, the Mahatma Gandhi Canadian Foundation for World Peace, the Punjabi Cultural Association, SAHAARA and the Secular Peoples Association. “It was a huge success! Both David Suzuki and MLA Raj Pannu were great. The film was shown in a room for 400 -- and there were 435 present. I also understand that Vue Magazine is doing an article -- they are a weekly arts tabloid. "I do think we have raised some level of awareness. Also there was an MBA student in the audience who had family affected by the disaster -- he sent a very long and emotional e-mail surprised that people here cared and so thankful they did. I should also mention that he was very concerned that any compensation given really gets to the people who suffered -- apparently the compensation from the Indian government didn't get to these people. "I also know that many people who couldn't make the film will be watching it on the Nature of Things.” Read more about the event here!

"The year 2003 was a special year in the history of the campaign for justice in Bhopal. It was the year when student and youth supporters from at least 30 campuses in the US and India took action against Dow Chemical or in support of the demands of the Bhopal survivors. As we enter the 20th year of the unfolding Bhopal disaster, we can, with your support, convey to Dow Chemical that the fight for justice in Bhopal is getting stronger and will continue till justice is done. We look forward to your continued support and good wishes, and hope that our joint struggle will pave the way for a just world free of the abuse of corporate power."
