Forty Children of Bhopal
Debut Photobook by Savraj Kaur
With Foreword by Dr. Vandana Shiva
On December 2-3, 1984, a pesticide factory in Bhopal, India, leaked toxic gas across the city, killing thousands. The factory stands abandoned, but its poison endures—seeping into groundwater, claiming innocent children among its victims.
Forty children, each representing a year of the struggle for justice.
