Synopsis :   

What happens when remote, isolated mountain communities come face to face with globalization? Jardhar, a village in the Hemval valley of Garhwal, led an isolated, egalitarian existence until a series of events forced it, into joining the market economy. This documentary, based entirely on local perspectives, reflects on the process of change- what triggers the shift to modernisation and what impact it has on the personal, social and environmental spaces.
