SAC presents : Loha Garam Hai (The Iron is Hot) (2008) and Gaon Chhodab Nahi (We Will Not Leave Our Village) (2009)
Followed by a discussion with Meghnath and Biju Toppo, directors, and Gunjal Munda, community activist.Loha Garam Hai presents a scathing critique of India's most polluting industry—the sponge iron industry—and of industrialization gained at the cost of human lives and the environment.
Gaon Chhodab Nahi, a delightful, popular music video captures the marginalization of adivasis (tribal people) across India due to development projects.
Both documentaries were produced by Akhra, a pioneering group that has been producing films on adivasi issues since 1995.
