Film Synopsis

In Odisha, women have emerged as powerful guardians of the state's rich forest ecosystems. Across tribal and rural regions, they lead community-driven efforts to protect forests, guided by a deep cultural bond with nature and dependence on forest resources for everyday survival. Through vigilant patrolling, prevention of illegal logging, and sustainable harvesting of minor forest produce, these women safeguard fragile landscapes while nurturing their regeneration and ensuring the continued wellbeing of their communities.
