Inside India’s Forests - Seeing the Wood for its Trees

CAT has produced a documentary film - ‘Inside India’s Forests - Seeing the Wood for its Trees’. The film follows three kids from Mumbai, Madhav (9 yrs), Sahir (14 yrs) and Kreena (15 yrs) who share a common goal and the passion to protect and conserve our environment.

The purpose of this film is to awaken the people of India to three vital but inconvenient truths about India’s forests,

• that India’s forests provide India’s water…
• that India’s forests were served a death sentence by the Forest Rights Act, passed on Dec 16th 2006 , ostensibly to solve the 60-year-old problem of Tribal poverty…
• that Tribals’ poverty will not be solved by gifting them pieces of forest as the Forest Rights Act entails, but by integrating them into Indian society, providing basic needs, educating them…

The kids’ journey of discovery conveys these three messages of this film, and the hope for a real solution. This is an unscripted documentary – the startling conclusions drawn by our ‘Heroes’ about the world they will inherit from us. This film is dedicated to the children of India and to their future.
