FILE - In this Thursday, Oct. 9 2014 file photo, actor Jack O'Connell poses for photographers upon arrival at the premiere of the film 71 during the BFI London Film Festival in central London.

Following his much-acclaimed performance earlier this year in the angry prison drama "Starred Up," now he is receiving rave reviews for his part in director Yann Demange's high-octane debut "'71.", which will be followed up with his highly anticipated role in director Angelina Jolie's "Unbroken" later this year.

India is considered to have the world's worst sanitation record despite spending some $3 billion since 1986 on sanitation programs, according to government figures.
