Astitva: Interlinking of rivers in India
Logline: The government Of India focuses on interlinking all 33 rivers in India. The first such link is the Ken-Betwa interlink, intended to connect central India's Ken and Betwa rivers. It attempts to understand what such a link would truly do to the area and what the local residents feel about this suggestion to save their livelihood. The project will cause the submergence of parts of a national park and tiger reserve in the vicinity.
