Development Flows From The Barrel Of The Gun

This film presents and examines orchestrated state violence against indigenous and local people when they rally and protest against development projects on their land. The film records stories of human rights violation from five states: Kashipur in Orissa, Koelkaro in Jharkhand, Mehndikhera in Madhya Pradesh, Umbergaon in Gujarat and Nagarnar in Chhattisgarh. In each case, using the local police force, the state has brutalised and killed protestors, often on false charges of violence.
