- When the Indian Prime Minister launched the Accessible India Campaign in December 2015, it was first such step that any Central government had ever taken. Three years hence, the levels of sensitivity and awareness have increased manifolds but has the situation on ground changed much? The film tries to find this out through people with varying disabilities who have to use public facilities on a day to day basis, whether it's transport or other public infrastructure. Their first hand experience of navigating through technology and exterior environment offers us a glimpse into the country's accessible environment.
- Weaving diary entries, letters, art work and poetry through a series of conversations, Girhein reflect on the tools that helped them cope with depression and stay afloat.

- Liberia, a nation scarred by 14 years of brutal civil war, stands at a critical moment in its history as it heads for its second democratic election in October 2011. This election will decide the country's future course - towards peace and stability or violence and chaos. Assisting the UN peacekeeping operation is a special unit from India - an all-female police contingent. Deployed yearly since 2007, it is the first such unit to ever take part in a peacekeeping mission. The all-female contingent is an important experiment for the UN - to rectify the skewed gender ratio within the UN system itself where only 6% of peacekeepers are women, and more importantly, to bring a gendered perspective to conflict resolution and peacemaking. But for Ruby, Tejinder and Philomena the journey away from their families has been difficult. It is their first time in another country - they have never been so far away from home. Like them, most of the other women in their unit have left behind young children in the care of husbands and relatives. The 12 month duty is tough and just too long. They spend their evenings trying to connect calls back home. The tension is rising as the election draws nearer. There are frequent clashes between different political parties. Will the Indian policewomen succeed in ensuring that the voting takes place in a safe and trouble-free environment? Will the hardships they suffer to bring peace in far-off lands be worth it in the end?
- A documentary film chronicling tribal history in India that never makes it way to the mainstream.
- Rural, adivasi women from the villages of Raigarh, Chhattisgarh critique the grand plan of development of the country. As mines and power plants appear and grow in monstrous proportions around them, many of them have been cheated of their land and compensation. Their relationship with the forest and environment has been severed, leaving them surrounded by a toxic, polluted, gutted earth. As they grapple with all this, they seek justice for themselves and their communities and share their thoughts about how a country should be.
- A filmmaker, a university student, an entrepreneur and a radio jockey. Women, who feel hungry, eat, grow fat and feel anxious about it. A film about not being perfect. A film about the never ending attempts to make the body "speak for the self in a meaningful and powerful way." A journey to move beyond disorders and discover the real women battling the fantasies around and within them.
- Tales from Napa is the remarkable story of a little village that resisted the forces of Hindu fundamentalism during the 2002 anti-Muslim riots in Gujarat, India.

- Seldom do a man's deeds loom so large that they dwarf the very mountains from where they emanate. One such person is Chandi Prasad Bhatt, who has strong claims to being the first modern Indian environmentalist, and arguably also its greatest. Bhatt was one of the pioneers of the Chipko movement, not just a fight for protecting forests and environment, but a struggle for protecting and renewing livelihoods. The Film seeks to decipher the life, the motivation and work of a man who silently changed the paradigm of environment activism in India and has been described by Ramchandra Guha as one of the finest Indians alive today.
