synopsis

Korba, a small district in Central India is where a fourth of India’s coal is mined, mostly for producing electricity. Mining over decades has left the land ravaged, the air and water severely contaminated and the lives of its people, disrupted. Through the story of a tribal woman who is set to lose her land and a local activist fighting for justice, the film seeks to make a comment on the present day development paradigm where those who pay the price for development seldom benefit from it.
