'Narmada: A Valley Rises.

About the Film:

In December 1990, the largest and longest sustained non-violent

action by the Narmada Bachao Andolan took place: a 200 km
march to the Sardar Sarovar dam site. The dam threatened to
affect the lives or displace over 300,000 people. The protests led
to an unprecedented independent review of the building of the dam
by the World Bank. Award-winning filmmaker Ali Kazimi had
unparalleled access throughout this 5-week long mass action. The
film draws its viewers into the unfolding drama of the growing
strength of the movement, as well the state repression faced by
the protestors. This happens to be the only feature length
documentary scored by academy award-winning composer,
Mychael Danna (Life of Pi).
