The four-episode series is directed by debutant director Shiv Rawail, one of YRF’s homegrown talents. Set against the backdrop of the Bhopal Gas Leak, the world’s worst industrial disaster, and inspired by true stories, ‘The Railway Men’ is an account of courage and a salute to humanity. It offers a poignant narrative of the unsung heroes – the railway employees of India, who went beyond their call of duty, trying to save the lives of hundreds of innocent citizens trapped in a helpless city.
It stars R. Madhavan, Kay Kay Menon, Divyenndu Sharma and Babil Khan in the lead roles.
In the late hours of December 2, 1984, methyl isocyanate gas leaked from a pesticide factory owned by the American Union Carbide Corporation. It has been reported that more than half a million people were poisoned that night and the official death toll exceeded 5,000.
Thousands of survivors have said they, their children and grandchildren are struggling with chronic health problems like cancer, blindness, respiratory, immune and neurological problems as a result of the leak.
‘The Railway Men’ is to arrive on Netflix on November 18.
