You are invited to a screening of the film "GHARAT" (42 mts) a film by Pankaj Rishi Kumar at CASUARINA HALL, INDIA HABITAT CENTER 27th January, 4.30pm Synopsis Gharat is a film about decentralized sustainable development. The verite narrative begins with the Water March, which is symbolic of the resilience and growing awareness about the exploitation of the mountain resources and people. Today, mountain resources are being controlled by the city, water is converted into electricity for city dwellers where as villages close to the hydro-electric projects are submerged in darkness,says Dr. Anil Joshi, founder of HESCO. He believes that the Gharats/Watermills could truly be a vehicle for overall development without any ecological hazards as associated with bigger dams. The film documents the brooding realities of increasing migration in this region. It highlights the apathy to restore and explore the potential of the Gharat by Policy makers. These paradigms are cast against the background of Tau upgrading his Gharat/Watermill, which brings electricity to his house for the first time! The film has been funded by Publec Service Broadcasting Trust & The Mountain Grant program of The Banff Centre, supported by Mountain HardWear---Canada.
