Synopsis
Jharia, a mining town in Northeast India, faces a dire situation due to its coal industry. For nearly a century, poorly maintained mining operations have caused fires that spread through the underground. These flames release thick, toxic fumes, affecting the health of residents. Once seen as a source of wealth, coal now threatens their livelihoods. Directed by Jean Dubrel, the 52-minute documentary presents the stark contrast between Jharia's resource potential and the ongoing environmental disaster.
