  • Thursday, April 15, 7:00 pm – Contaminated Without Consent/ Bhopal Chemical Disaster

    You are invited to a free screening and panel discussion on Thursday, April 15, beginning at 7 pm at the Watertown Free Public Library, 123 Main Street in Watertown.  Contaminated Without Consent is a 16 minute video to help inform your community about the hidden risks from chemical contaminates found in our homes, workplaces, the products we buy and even our bodies.  The Bhopal Chemical Disaster: Twenty Years Without Justice reviews the history of the world’s worst chemical disaster in Bhopal, India, and the fight for justice by the citizens of Bhopal.  Produced for the International Campaign for Justice in Bhopal and screened widely by human rights organizations, including Amnesty International, this evening’s program is presented by The Alliance for a Healthy Tomorrow, a not for profit group which has spoken to The Garden Club of the Back Bay in the past about cleaning products and contaminated cosmetics.  The program is supported in part by a grant from the Watertown Cultural Council, a local agency supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council.  For more information about Alliance for a Healthy Tomorrow, call 617-338-8131, or email nschelling@cleanwater.org.
