After opening to great acclaim for bringing jobs and development to
rural Kerala, local community members began to see a darker side of
the neighboring Coca-Cola bottling plant as their water supply began
to show signs of contamination and depletion. Despite ridicule and dismissive
attitudes, local citizens organized and fought to bring their message
to the outside world. Directors P. Baburaj and C. Saratchandran follow
these groups as they go up against politicians, state police and corporations
in hope of protecting their lands and children from the dangers brought
by the plant.
Touching on issues of environmentalism, globalization and grassroots
activism, this film is a testament to the perseverance of dedicated
individuals attempting to effect change in their community.
