Take Me to The River (60 min; 2013; dvd; English & with subtitles)

Produced and directed by Chitvan Gill

A personal exploration of Delhi's Yamuna, the film highlights the deplorable state and some of the gravest violations against the river and against the people to whom it is sacred, and many of whose lives and livelihoods are intimately tied to it. Amidst the ongoing tragedy of the Yamuna in Delhi, we discover stories of courage and fortitude: of men and women battling extraordinary odds, making it possible for others to have a chance at life; and of a near-insane affection for the river. The film also examines the possibilities of overcoming present patterns of myopic management and of reclaiming the civilizational linkages between the Yamuna and the city of Delhi
