Buddha Weeps in Jadugoda

Original title: Ragi, Kanam Ko Bonga Buru

This documentary examines uranium mining near Jadugoda in Jharkhand, where unsafe mining, milling, and tailings management have contaminated water, land, and air. It follows the resulting damage to local ecology and tribal communities, including displacement, radiation exposure, genetic mutation, and slow death, while documenting authorities’ disregard for safety standards and the region’s inhabitants.
