An epic story of a life ravaged by ecological disaster
"I walk home. The skyline is changed.
The skeleton is fast becoming a huge metal creature.
They have built a behemoth here."
Bhopal. India. 1984.
Born under a blue sky in a city of lakes, a girl grows up with her father and sister. The three of them together, always.
But as she grows, the land begins to change. A giant factory rises over her town. Her mother always wanted more for them - now the girl wants more too.
Then comes the night that tears everything apart.
Ferocious, brutal and damning, this epic story of a life ravaged by ecological disaster is written by Titas Halder (Foal, Finborough) and directed by Matthew Xia (Tambo & Bones, ATC/Stratford East).
