Two filmmakers have bottled contaminated water from Bopal, India to highlight the negligence of Dow Chemical, the company that is responsible for cleaning up the water. The Yes Men - Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno- have created "B'Eaupal" bottled water, which is a "new product - unpotable water - to publicise the fact that the disaster in Bhopal is continuing."
It has been 25 years since the Union Carbide Chemical disaster in Bopal, India and since Dow purchased Union Carbide in 1989, Dow has yet to take resposibility for cleaning up the polluted water. Yesterday, along with Survivors of Bopal, the British filmmakers took the B'Eaupal water to Dow's UK headquarters and staged a protest.
