Lowdown Dirty Criminals

Storytelling the tussle between 'Sustainability' & 'Development' in context of rural India, film 'Spring Thunder' narrates the story of a Uranium mining tender at the highest plateau of India, enriched with thick forests and populated by various native communities. Starting from conflict of policy-makers, to crime, money, politics, and rage at the local level concerning land acquisition to universal environmental concerns. The selfish political inadequacy leads the local tribes to unite and retaliate for the survival of their existence, and the existence of forests there. In a time frame where scientific communities across the globe are continuously raising alarm about the environment and the health of the Planet Earth, 'Spring Thunder' reinforces this global concern through the drama and the plot of the story. The film showcases the exotic natural beauty of the Chotanagpur plateau in India and the culture, emotions, values and concerns of the local communities. The film aspires to bring the crude reality of the situation to the world as a way of awareness, sensitisation and rebel.
