ECO - Dharma

Unmindful of the modern environmental crusaders, some of the indigenous tribes and communities of India have been living in harmony with nature and all its creatures for centuries. In fact, there are communities which have “protection of wildlife and environment” enshrined in their tenets and consider it their DHARMA to protect trees or the creatures inhabiting their villages.

Award winning freelance director from Poland, Malgorzata Skiba visits one such village to meet the members of the BISHNOI community who prefer to die than let anyone hunt down the beautiful Chinkara deer that abound the jungles around their village.

“ECO DHARMA” is the winner of the first prize in the short film category at the Rodos International Films & Visual Arts Festival.
