Title:Jardhar Diary
Language/ Duration/Year/ Format (DVD)/ Price: English/ 29 mins /2002/ DVD Rs. 1000
Summary: The film is about a village called Jardhar tucked away in the hills of the Garhwal Himalayas. The villagers of Jardhar Gaon and a few surrounding villages have revived their forests, are fighting limestone mining on their hill slopes, staving off power lines, which will decimate their rich Pine and Sal cover and reclaiming traditional seeds and putting it back into circulation. It's amazing but all this is happening in and around the village Jardhar. Through the voices of the villagers and an inspired leadership, many of them a chip from the old Chipko block, we travel through the area. And get to know the revolution which is sometimes covert and sometimes out in the streets.
