Kosi Katha : The Making of a Famine| 30mins
Director: Jharna Anurag Singh | Producer: Janmadhyam
Focus Years: 2009 | Country: India
Synopsis:
"The latest Government figures 24th Feb. 09, 5 districts, 35 blocks, 33.29 lakh people, 9.97 lakh live stock, affected area 3.68 lakh hectares, 2.37 lakh houses, 19,323 loss of cattle & 527 human death. These are official figures of the Government of Bihar and relate only to Kosi floods. Govt spends something to the tune of Rs. 15 - 200 crores annually on all the embankments within the state. Minimising losses is a subject in itself but accountability of maintaining the structures is a crucial point to avoid disasters like the one that happened in Aug 2008." Dinesh Kumar Mishra (Author of Trapped- The Story of Bihar's Kosi River) It is a film on farmers and food. A very complex question of dignity and survival and an even more complex story of human failing, international Aid and food surplus.
