Street Theater on Corporatization and Agribusiness

In this Street theater the activists stage a scene in Rajatlab, Uttar Pradesh India. A representative of the multinational company and the local politician are attempting to convince the farmers to allow for company friendly policies to make the lives easier for farmers. A local activist is arguing against the merits of such a decision by farmers. Coca Cola has a massive bottling plant in these villages and the locals (including almost 70 elected representatives from these villages) are very concerned about the falling water table in the region and the pollution caused by the plant.
