Strong political/ecological documentary., 8 April 2011
Author: runamokprods from US

Very good, if not quite great, this documentary about poor villagers being cruelly displaced by a massive dam project in India has some emotional and powerful moments.

There's no pretense of objectivity here – this is a film with a point of view, and it expresses it strongly.

The weak spots are a certain sense of repetition, and a back of the mind feeling that good and bad might be a bit more complex than shown here – we're asked to take some of the film's assertions on face value, without question or rebuttal.

None-the-less, a moving and sadly inspiring film.
