In the name of development, tribal land is routinely grabbed or 
 illegally acquired by private companies in India. In the Raigarh 
 district of Chhatisgarh, farmers are caught in a search for justice 
 against the Jindal Thermal Power Plant. Alongside testimonies by 
 desperate farmers, this film documents their determined protest against 
 an impending public hearing that will decide the expansion of the power 
 plant in Tamnar.

All are cordially invited
