With insightful interviews and rare footage from India's agricultural industry, this keenly observed film depicts Indian women's zealous struggle to maintain traditional farming practices. Examining the politics of seed production as exemplar of the conflict between ancient and modern concepts of land use, AMRIT BEEJA compares practices of women who consider seeds sacred with multinational companies' use of sterilized hybrids. Combining concepts from environmental leader Vandana Shiva and testimonies of women defying the spread of technologically-based cultivation, this evocative, political analysis celebrates the scientific basis of women's native practices, while exploring the changing meanings of healthy land use.

To marry an Indian living in USA, Canada, Germany, UK or even
Libya, is the dream most young girls grow up with in the Doaba
region of Punjab. So what if he is older, already married, has children
and is out of work?
An “NRI” husband is the only escape route from the patriarchy
and poverty that restricts the lives of Punjab’s daughters. Most of
these girls have never stepped out of their village and cannot speak
English.
Every Christmas, Indian men living in the West, prospective grooms,
descend into Punjab. They will select a young, innocent bride from an
array of choices. They are offered competitive dowries, complete with
an all-expenses paid honeymoon. More often, once they return back
to the West, their young wives, some pregnant, wait for the promised
visa in vain. The dream is over.
CALIFORNIA DREAMING features four Punjabi brides awaiting
departure.

The film is beautifully shot, but it achieves what many beautifully shot
films fail to do – the colours do not diminish the content or thrust of
the film. It was screened for the Prime Minister and MPs of the time”.
