For more than 15 years people of the Narmada Valley have resisted a series of massive dams
on their river and in their struggle have exposed the deceptive heart of India's
development politics. WORDS ON WATER is about a sustained non-violent resistance, that
almost joyous defiance, which empowers the people as they struggle for their rights, yet
saves them from the ultimate humiliation of violence.
