Travelling along the Narmada river we come into contact with the villages of the Adivasis, their elementary
schools, their battle and the monsoons that wreaks havoc every summer. The Narmada is one
of India’s seven sacred rivers. Controlled by five large dams across its course and 3000 small ones along
its tributaries, the river has been harnessed by one of India’s most ambitious hydroelectric power plants
ever built and is part of a project that has displaced hundreds of thousands of families. Work on
another, even larger, even more controversial dam, Sardar Sarovar, has begun. On completion, it, too,
will have displaced numerous families. Standing out among the testimonies is that of Sanjay Mitra.
Recounting his past experience as naxalite militant defending the cause of the Adivasis of Jharkhand,
he invites us to learn from them the rules of self-respect practiced in harmony with the environment
and nature.

Call of Rio Madeira

 

The Call of Rio Madeira shows the resistance of the Amazonian peoples and social movements against big infrastructure development projects which aim to redesign the shape of Latin America.
Filmed during 2007-2008 the “Call of Rio Madeira” is one of the most recent documentaries aiming to show to the world which are the real interests behind this type of development at any cost. A type of development which only favours the interests of banks, companies and multinational corporations without considering at all the environmental and social consequences.
The Rio Madeira Complex is in essence the backbone project which will allow the transformation of the Amazonian region into waterways, electricity and cheap raw materials, making the grabbing of natural resources faster and more profitable.
The Call of Rio Madeira is the resistance voice of the indigenous and riverine people which are about to lose the right to be who they are, to lose their identity. Another human right denied, another one in the humanity´s history which is not taken for granted anymore!
