Story from Jharkhand, India - (video clips of 55 min long doc. film on the 200 years old coal industry) This documentary is a portrait of a painful transformation. The land of the Tana Bhagats, a peaceful sect of the Oraon tribe who follow a Gandhian lifestyle and philosophy, is today besieged by Naxalite violence. In tracing the impact of the underground Maoist guerillas, the film touches upon corruption, the mafia, energy politics and displacement of villages, and tribal identity in an area where coal has been mined for the last 150 years.

  • Political power can ONLY come from the barrel of a gun. Negotiation is only the means New Delhi is using to delay the inevitable, and a ploy to oppress the discriminated villagers further as their thousand year CASTE mentality will never allow them to GIVE UP their reign and oppression.

    RISE, take your guns and make your stand ! Cultural revolution is the ONLY way out of your predicament. If not for YOURSELVES, do it for your OFFSPRINGS.
