Set in the Bhilwara district of Rajasthan this film captures the exploitation the workers have to go through on a daily basis to work in illegal mines for a ‘dollar a day’.

Blending investigative journalism with helplessness and dark humour, the film tells the stories of average sandstone miners victimized by corporate greed and political corruption.

More than 70 men from 60 families have died in the last few years of silicosis caused by inhalation of dust containing free crystalline silica.

The film is a hitchhiker’s journey through the labyrinthine universe of Democracy, as it exists in its lowest unit level – the Indian village.

The stories of struggle and visions of hope open a door to the complex issue that is threatening the future of mine workers and their families.
