The film is a partly fictionalized presentation of the great tragedy occurred in Ksaragod District of Kerala in India, consequent on the aerial spraying of endosulfan, a highly toxic pesticide on cashew plantations owned by the Plantation Corporation or Kerala govt. The spraying affected the people as well as the environment continually for two and a half decades. This produced disastrous effects in the health of the people especially children, being born with birth defects. The land, the water the flora and fauna had turned toxic and continue to affect human health even today, after discontinuing this spraying for the past two decades.The film depicts the aftereffects of the pesticide spraying through the eyes of a photographer. His first visit to the area was in a rainy season during 2001. His photographs revealed to the world, the shocking and pathetic state of numerous victims. Endosulfan induced misery gained worldwide attention through this exposure. The photographer visited the area again in summer 2006. In the meanwhile, many of the young victims he had photographed during his earlier visit were dead. Even now children are being affected with strange and debilitating diseases. In 2011, the Stockholm Summit of UN on Persistent Organic Pollutants recommended a total ban on endosulfan. India was the only country that defended this movement. A year later, in 2012, the photographer returns to Kasaragod. He realizes that apathy and indifference to the plight of these unfortunate victims still continue and the survivors continue to suffer.

This film profiles the oldest auction house in India as it fights for survival in the age of the Internet. It follows the owners, brothers Anwer and Arshad, struggling to save their family business and a piece of India's heritage. Elder brother Anwer recently returned to his homeland after a long career in the UK. He is desperate to revive the fortunes of his family's beloved auction house, which his grandfather purchased from the British in 1940. But in the process he must contend with a chaotic city, an ailing workforce, and his quarrelsome younger brother. Arshad, India's longest-standing auctioneer, has worked at the Russell Exchange since the 1960s and knows the world of antiques inside and out. Although steeped in the city's traditions, he's skeptical about Anwer's plans for reform. He believes that their city is in terminal decline and that the auction house is destined to die along with it. As the brothers come to terms with their futures, and each other, their amusing, argumentative, and ultimately heartfelt relationship raises larger questions about the place of traditional family businesses in the 21st century economy.

The Indian Subcontinent: romantic, remote and mysterious. From the plains of Pakistan to the foothills of the Himalaya, from Northern India and Rajasthan to Tamil Nadu in the south, this vast melting pot of diverse civilisations, religions, cultures and glorious landscapes has seen some of the greatest artistic golden ages on earth. Across three rich, detailed episodes, this series explores the story of the Indian Sub Continent through the treasures of three very different people, places and dynasties that have shaped modern India, and beyond: the Indus Valley civilisations, Tamil Nadu – land of the temples – and the Mughal Empire. With the magnificent, stirring landscapes of India and Pakistan as a dramatic backdrop, this series combines art, history and travelogue to give a compelling insight into a captivating part of our world.
In this episode, Sona Datta visits the Harappa archaeological site to learn about a complex people that flourished from 2700 to 1700 B.C. Taxila ruins reveal how Alexander the Great influenced Buddhism and Lahore architecture illustrates the rise of Islam during the Mughal reign—establishing cultural norms that persist today.

In this episode, art historian Sona Datta follows Mughal expansion under key rulers. Akbar promoted religious tolerance and combined Hindu and Islamic art and architecture styles; Shah Jahan memorialized his wife Mumtaz in the Taj Mahal; and Aurangzeb imposed strict Islamic rule. Finally, British imperialism increased tensions between Muslims and Hindus, leading to violence and division.
