Hopes buried in the concrete of a failed, dry canal; a parched well used as a storage tank; an entire generation displaced by a big dam; a village forced to eat grass after years of drought; and a party that boasts of artificial rain for its guests. Village of Dust, City of Water is a film whose theme is anchored in the critical water resource and water supply issues currently facing rural populations across India-as depicted in contrast to urban water supplies. The film uses poetry, accompanied by music, as the primary narrative form to compliment the interviews and documentations taken from the many sides of each critical water issue.
