While the name “Bhopal” may cause many to scratch their heads and wonder if it is a person, place, or thing, everyone should know what it is.

For those that don’t, the Bhopal Disaster or Bhopal Gas Tragedy is the worst industrial accident in history. On the night of December 2, 1984, a pesticide plant leaked in the city of Bhopal, killing 2,259 people immediately. In all, over 500,000 were exposed to deadly gas and toxic chemicals leaving many severely injured for life.

Hopefully, Bhopal Prayer for Rain will inform more people of this event and raise awareness for the need of better safety measures to prevent something like this from ever happening again.

As the trailer shows, some of the worst horror stories are those that occur in real-life:
