Following the deaths of many from his village, including his father, filmmaker Daniel Lambo sets off on a passionate quest to uncover the truth about the deadly asbestos industry. His search takes him to the largest asbestos waste dump in India and reveals that the cold-blooded industry is still endangering the lives of workers and consumers around the world. A gripping story about the fight of individuals against a thriving asbestos industry.

The film was part of the 16th Verzió Film Festival in 2019 when director, Daniel Lambo presented this film for the first time to the Hungarian audience. The Verzió festival posters also depicted the protagonist, Indian activist Nirmala Gurung who sadly passed away this week due to an asbestos complication.
