Water pollution is a very big problem in India. In most areas
water is contaminated with arsenic, but in Nashipur, a little
village in West Bengal, the problem is caused by high levels
of fluoride in the water sourced from wells built by the local
government over 30 years ago. The people of the village are
affected by fluorosis, a disease that paralyses bones.

Spain, 55 mins
For 20 years the women of the
Narmada Valley have been struggling
against the interests of the government
and big corporations. In that
time they have become more and
more conscious of the dimensions
of the problem and have taken on
the lead role in fighting against these
forces in this unequal battle.
