Summary:
Millions of lives are at stake in the extensive Ganga-Meghna-Brahmaputra plains due to arsenic contamination of groundwater. And there's no figure to put to the number of lives already lost. Arsenic contamination has flourished notwithstanding high level action committees and detailed master plans. At one glance, it seems a predicament of epidemic proportions. On a closer scrutiny, however, it becomes a farce featuring thirty years of collective failure - a failure to which all stakeholders are guilty. The film is a simple narrative which looks in anger at the callous mismanagement that caused the crisis and continues to threaten lives.
