Director/Cinematographer: Simon Chambers

Documentarian Simon Chambers travels to Orissa, one of the poorest regions of India, to examine the effect, whether it be positive or negative, that a British mining company has had on the area’s people, but decrepitude, incompetence, timidity, and fear ensure that all he really manages to document, besides a cursory glance at local poverty, is his own comic nightmare, in this entertaining if rather frustrating documentary.
