Ademloos - Eric Jonckheere en Daniel Lambo
© Daniel Lambo

KAPELLE OP DEN BOS/KYMORE - Kapelle-op-den-Bos is where the filmmaker Daniel Lambo was born. Life was good there. Daniel's father worked in the local Eternit factory. The company was one of the world's biggest asbestos producers. Today, we know what happens when people make asbestos, and for many people, this is a problem that happened in the past. But the problem with asbestos is still there, as we see when we look at what Eternit was doing in other countries.

In the Indian village of Kymore, Daniel discovers an active asbestos factory that was once owned by the Belgian Eternit. The Indian village is like a mirror of the past of Kapelle-op-den-Bos. The pollution also casts a dark shadow over the village here. Nirmala, an ex-teacher and mother, decides to take up the fight for the many victims of Kymore and for a clean environment.
