Résumé:
Village of Dust, City of Water se base à la fois sur la ressource critique en eau et les questions d'approvisionnement auxquelles doivent faire face les populations rurales de l'Inde en contraste avec la gestion urbaine de l'eau. Le film utilise la poésie et la musique comme trame narrative pour compléter des séquences visuelles et mieux mettre en lumière la crise de l'eau en Inde, l'inégalité des usages et des répartitions... Abstract:
Hopes buried in the concrete of a failed, dry canal; a parched well used as a storage tank; an entire generation displaced by a big dam; a village forced to eat grass after years of drought; and a party that boasts of artificial rain for its guests. Village of Dust, City of Water is a film whose theme is anchored in the critical water resource and water supply issues currently facing rural populations across India-as depicted in contrast to urban water supplies. The film uses poetry, accompanied by music, as the primary narrative form to compliment the interviews and documentations taken from the many sides of each critical water issue.
