This documentary locates the crisis of Indian Adivasi agriculture in the larger context of Jharkhand's political and economic history. Positing the indigenous Adivasi people and their ecosystem against overwhelming national interventions that have carved out an industrial and urban "state" in Jharkhand, it shows the fundamental impact of such development on Jharkhand's environment and demography.
"It is likely (Running Out of Time) will communicate to people who are not already sold over to the tribal cause - most such ventures end up converting the converted. The tone and pitch of the film is such that the unconverted are likely gain a perspective. Especially on the numerous products and services generated by denying Adivasis the most basic rights. Go watch and think." — Sopan Joshi, DOWN TO EARTH
