Yamuna: An Appeal

By Jai Thakur with 6.7

documentary · Short Films · hindi

Employing skilful visuals, both stunning and horrifying in equal measure, the short film invokes a concern extremely relevant in contemporary times. It draws the viewer's attention to the callous indifference with which humans have abused the River Yamuna, resulting in polluting it to alarming levels.

The approach the narrative adopts to present this concern forth is comprised of stills and photographs, mapped against a poetic narration, revealing the state of the river. There is a reiteration of not allowing yourself to get blinded by the ideals of development and progress and check our activities at an individual level before its too late for our environmental resources. The film, thus, becomes a sincere plea for humans to protect the planet before we destroy our very source of life and existence.
