DROWNED OUT: THE NARMADA DAM
The Indian government claims the new Narmada dam will help areas of permanent drought. But for the people of Jalsindhi in central India it will mean disaster. It will flood their homes.
The people are caught between empty government promises and a life in the city slums. One family decides to stay and fight rather than make way for the dam.
A national campaign is begun. Drowned Out follows the jalsindhi villages through hunger strikes, rallies, police brutality and six year supreme court case. The dam fills and the river starts to rise¡
