Dukhu Majhi - Son of the barren land (Rukhu Matir Dukhu Majhi)

This documentary is regarding a relentless struggle of a solitary man in his unique way to save the mother earth.
The old man - Dukhu Majhi lives in a place where the temperature rises upto 50 degree Celsius in the summer. He had somehow been inspired by his father in childhood and later on by a Govt. campaign on the need of plantation. There he came to know how trees invite rain and supply oxygen in the environment. He also feels that people need shadows from the scorching sun.
Armed daily with two canisters of water, sacks, shovels, burnt wood & saplings, all mounted on a cycle, a poor, completely-illiterate old villager spends his years planting trees at roadsides, school premises, & wherever else he can; & taking proper care of them. Over the years, Dukhu Majhi has perfected his own unique method of preparation, plantation, & nurturing. To ensure that no passer-by dares touch them, he covers his newly-planted saplings with cloth taken from the nearby crematorium.
This poor and completely illiterate man has a strong philosophy of life – that too is very interesting.
