Jamna - The River Story

About This Movie

So, 'Jamna - The River Story' dives deep into the plight of the Yamuna, a river that’s almost become a character of its own in this documentary. The film has this gritty, raw feel, capturing the essence of Delhi’s relationship with the river. Ishani K Dutta really paces the film well, shifting between interviews with stakeholders and the life of Shyam, the boatman, who sort of embodies the struggle. The visuals are striking, there's a certain heaviness in the air as you watch the pollution unfold, yet there's also a sense of resilience. It’s not just about the degradation; the documentary captures the stories of those affected, bringing a human touch to a very real crisis. A fine blend of narrative and stark reality, really.
