Synopsis
A convoy of heavy machinery moved along National Highway Number Eight in January 1968. It carried a calandria, the core component of a nuclear reactor from Canada, over 600 miles to Rajasthan. The transport team, consisting of 40 men, faced significant challenges. They reinforced roads, cut power lines, and lowered the roadbed to maintain ancient structures. Each modification was crucial to deliver this 75-ton load to a region in need of energy. The film, directed by Eugene Boyko, documents this complex operation.
