              Brief Sinopsys Sardar Sarovar, an impressive cement wall of 121 meters heigth, stops river Narmada´s flow. It is part of the faraonic “Narmada Valley Development Project”, that plans the construction of more than 3000 dams, some of them of huge dimensions. Over two millions and a half people are afected, most of them adivasis (indigenous) who are losing their houses and ways of life. For twenty years they have been struggling against the interests of the government and the big corporations. Women have gained conciousness of the dimensions of the problem and have become the main role in this unequal fight. Is this the single way of development? The situation in the Narmada Valley is an example of the 21th century´s biggest war: water control, natural resources control.

              The Poojari's Daughter comença amb flashblacks de Rajathiammal, sacerdotessa del sud de l'Índia, degollant una cabra i tonsurant-se el cap segons el ritual. Estem al 2001, a Madurai, Tamilnadu. Tots dos moments satisfan els seus més profunds desitjos: ser filmada mentre sacrifica una cabra com a ofrena al déu Saivita Paandi, com va fer el seu pare sacerdot, i renunciar a la seva vida en família.

              The Last Rites of the Honourable Mr. Rai és un documental sobre la crema d'un ancià veí de la ciutat sagrada de Benarés. Rodat a petició de la seva família, es tracta possiblement de l'estudi més detallat i respectuós sobre el ritu hindú de la crema a les ribes sagrades del Ganges.
