Synopsis:

This documentary film is a call from coastal communities in Kerala
state of south India, who are beginning to see the impacts of global
warming and climate change at
close quarters. Many houses are already destroyed.


While scientists have yet to establish how exactly weather, wind and
waves change, the fisherfolk find an angrier sea carving out more and
more of their land. They are concerned about the changing course of
ocean currents and disappearance of small fish from the coastal
waters.

Pollution and construction along the shore make things even worse.
Though their carbon footprint is very small, these local coastal
communities bear the brunt of mounting emissions worldwide. They call
for leaner, cleaner production processes and demand a place in the
climate change debate
