The Breach

Summary In creating The Breach I began to think of the symbiotic agreement Native Peoples had with salmon for millennia and how that has been compromised. There are hopeful restoration projects for repairing salmon runs - including the largest dam removal in US history on the Elwha River. But in thinking of what remains, my mind turned to Bristol Bay Alaska - where I'd spent those college summers 20 years before. Bristol Bay still has a perfect, healthy fishery, where 30-60 million wild salmon return each summer. They feed the land, animals and people of Bristol Bay, as they have for time immemorial. And they feed the world. Half the world's sockeye salmon supply comes from Bristol Bay. In the middle of all this, a Canadian mining company is attempting to construct North America's largest open-pit copper mine in the heart of Bristol Bay. I sought out tribal leaders, scientists, policy makers, fishermen, artists, authors and chefs - all with a shared knowledge and passion for wild salmon as cultural treasure, mystery from the sea and food for the planet. Many spoke of salmon surviving ice ages and earthquakes for millennia. Our shared journey is in asking if wild salmon have a chance of surviving us. View more details

In the Name of Love!

In the Name of Love!

As per a recent report, since 2009 - more than 17 thousand girls from Kerala and more 15 thousand girls from Mangalore from Hindu and Christian communities has been converted to Islam and most of them ended up landing in Syria, Afghanistan and other ISIS and Taliban influential areas. In spite of accepting this facts and numbers of conversion and eloped girls, erstwhile Chief Ministers from CPM and Congress party and relentless claim by RSS - there is hardly any action is visible on ground zero. No specific data available... no confirmed evidences are being attended... Police & administration are muffled... 'Government' is in denial mode (clearly due to possible erosion of respective vote bank). As a result - rampant religious conversion through deep-rooted indoctrination network taken over Kerala like fire in hay... simply rescinding 'god's own country', silently and inevitably. Like light in the end of the tunnel, on Supreme Court's intervention, NIA started investigating 90 odd cases. Whatever politics been brewing behind... whatever international conspiracy being hatched... there is no denial to the fact the thousands and thousands of daughters of India are getting eloped and getting vanished in to the blues of middle-eastern deserts. We have seen the tears of the mothers of the eloped girls...we have heard the cry of their despair...! This important documentary have tried to hear the cry of mother earth... tried to feel the melancholy of a country - who is losing her daughters in thousands, every year.
