Set in December 1984, "Bhopal: A Prayer for Rain" is based on true events when a devastating pesticide leak in Madhya Pradesh, central India, killed thousands of people. Filmed in India, "Bhopal: A Prayer for Rain" traces the lives of those living in Bhopal during the lead-up to what is still the world's biggest chemical disaster through to its tragic aftermath, which many feel has still not been addressed, and which continues to have a major impact on peoples' lives today. The victims of the Bhopal disaster have still, to this day, never received an official apology from the Indian or American government.
