My Disappearing Farms
Sindhudurg is the rice bowl of Maharashtra, India. However, in the last 25 years, over 12,500 acres of rice farms in the region have turned fallow. The number is only increasing each year, as more and more farmers are moving to large cities in search of work. My Disappearing Farms is the story of the people of Sindhudurg and their struggle to hold on to their culture and farmlands.

The Bidesia Project is a not-for-profit initiative to conserve Bhojpuri folk music and culture. This is also our in-house project. As a part of this initiative, we have produced an award winning feature length documentary film, set up a digital folk music archive and documented over 150 songs so far.
