Telling an untold story of radiation on people of Kanyakumari, ‘Radiation Stories’ a documentary made by award winning director and media activist Amudhan R P was screened here on Wednesday.
An interesting discussion too followed the screening.
The documentary concentrates on the people of Manavalakurichi district in Kanyakumari, who are suffering from various problems such as cancer, mental retardation etc due to high levels of natural radiation which has been further aggravated by sand mining by the Indian Rare Earth Limited (IREL).
Mr Amudhan who spoke about the issue and the way he filmed and edited the movie, said that he wanted to look at the “other side” of every issue and hence worked on this documentary to bring to the forefront the suffering of a whole community.
