For generations, families in the Indian village of Jalsindhi have lived off their land. Now, thanks to the controversial Narmada dam, they face destitution. When the reservoir starts filling, their homes will be submerged. Over a quarter of a million people will be displaced. But the villagers are determined to fight to protect their way of life. We follow them on their desperate struggle to save their homes. Filmed over a five year period and made in conjunction with PBS Wideangle, this beautifully filmed documentary reveals the human cost of modernisation. Winner of the Best Documentary Award at the 2003 San Francisco Film Festival.

  • The worst thing about India is the people who do not know anything about the public are made the highest officers public servants although they behave like kings. They have no brains to think of all but to for their own comfort and luxury. The poors are getting poorer.

  • hahaha

  • They are India's Amish!

  • I am against all forms of industrial development . . . unless of course I am personally profitting from it.
