A disease struck the core habitat of the Chambal Sanctuary in India, wiping out hundreds of Gharials which is more than fifty per cent of the adult and semi adult population in the entire area. This catastrophic epidemic could further lead to a danger that might crash the population of this critically endangered species to a level that it may never fully recover. To give Gharials the rightful priority they deserve, this Film is an endeavour to ascertain the cause of deaths by carrying out field investigations, involving Indian and international experts, for the protection and conservation of Gharials
In a canvas spread over four decades, a banyan tree, on the banks of the lake Chilika, silently whispers tales of the lake and her fisher folk. From the times when there was no export bazaar to the time when there maybe no lake.
The film documents the degradation of the fragile eco-system of Orissa's Chilika Lagoon due to the increase in the population around the lagoon, a disregard for conservation and the uncontrolled expansion of prawn culture in the waters.
