A film about Himachal Pradesh's precious Renuka Valley - home to biodiverse forests, fertile lands and people who have been living and farming in India's northern mountains for generations. This valley lies in the submergence area for a dam project that is meant to supply Delhi with water. The Film takes a look at the stakes for this dam, and asks whether Delhi needs this dam or Himachal's water, at all. What can Delhi learn from the Renuka Valley?

Four common people - a teacher, a farmer, a shepherd, a father - find themselves on the front line of the earth’s biggest, most complex crisis: climate change. Belonging to India’s ancient tribes, they bear witness to the science behind the changes that affect their day to day life. Living in diverse climatic regions - the mountains of Nagaland, the grasslands of Kutch, the Gangetic delta and the forests of Central India - they use this challenge as a part of their art with nature. Their lives journey through the dark labyrinths of the multidimensional crisis, reflecting stories of our times - of trees, mining, monkeys, logging, rivers, seeds, waterfalls, flowers - and the spirit of the timeless.
