Director Statement

This film was made with the initiative of the forest department of Meghalaya and ATREE in order to document the last forest patch covered in the whole of Jantia hills surrounded with cement factories and mining. It is important for the forest department as there are lots of threads that may lead to destruction of this existing forest and also their effort in conserving this forest.
