ESG Documentaries / Films
  • Fly Ash Over India, a film by Siobhan Wall on thermal power plants in Dakshin Kannada, India
  • Nagara Nyrmalaya, a film on solid waste management and caste barriers in India : A dramatised educational video on Solid Waste Management
  • Stone Breakers
    ESG assisted BBC World Service (Radio and TV) in doing a story on stone quarries in and around Bangalore. Issues addressed include how British consumers are unawares that the stone they are buying is actually quarried from South India (especially in and around Bangalore) based on extensive human rights violations, exploitation of labour and destruction of forests.
  • Nammuru Chandaduru : A dramatised educational video on Solid Waste Management

    • Other Documentaries / Films


  • The Die is Caste : A film appraising three decades of the Naxalite (extreme left) movement in the state of Bihar, in eastern India

  • The Story of Kali river : A film showing the plight of the river Kali in Dandeli, Uttara Kannada due to pollution by the West Coast Paper Mills, excess damming and illegal sand mining. Collaborated with Parisara Samrakshana Kendra, Dandeli.

  • "Resisting Coastal Invasion" is a 52-minute documentary directed by KP Sasi that explores these questions. It captures the struggles of fishing communities who are fighting tooth and nail against the takeover of their lands by the forces of globalization.

    • ESG projects cover a range of issues but a common theme is that of incorporating environmental and social justice concerns with community participation and involvement in decision making.

    ESG organises or participates in facilitating public meetings and workshops with a view to raising awareness in the community, judiciary and government bodies about environmental issues, environmental law, and the citizens' Rights.

    Films are a medium through which to promote a message to a wider audience and ESG has thus far been involved in the making of two films.  Our films are available for purchase by contacting us.

    The films are available in VHS and CD format in Kannada or dubbed in English and cost INR 750/-. Cost for overseas requests is USD 20 (+ USD 5 for postage). You can send a cheque or wire the money directly into ESG account. Please enquire first for wiring details.
