I Cannot Give You My Forest/Sakharam
I Cannot Give You My Forest
Directed by Kavita Bahl | 45min | India
I Cannot Give you My Forest is a modern day rendition of the David and Goliath story, played out in an Orwellian setting, as well as an intimate poetic window into the lives of the Kondh, the original dwellers (Adivasis) of the verdant forests of Niyamgiri in the state of Odisha in India. Niyamgiri is under attack from marauding corporations, eager to take its minerals and pristine tropical forests, and the film explores the response of the area's original inhabitants.
Sakharam
Directed by Sarthak Bhasin | 18min | India
Set in a tiny, tribal village of rural Maharashtra (India), Sakharam documents the life of Sakharam Mangya Bhagat. Water is in severe scarcity in Sakharam's village. So, Sakharam has devised an ingenious solution to this grave water problem--he keeps three wives.
