Synopsis
A bus journey across India – 7 states, 6000
kilometres in just 60 days. But this would be unlike
any other journey. The chosen destinations will never
feature in a tourist brochure of “must-see’s”
– this is the story of India’s forgotten
backyards, of people brushed under the carpet of indifference
and apathy; a story of individuals fighting all odds
for their basic rights – a story of a thousand
revolutions in a thousand Bhopals.

In November 2002, Greenpeace
campaigners undertook such a journey to uncover what
they call “corporate” crime. What they found
was shocking far beyond words – pipes brazenly
pouring untreated effluents into rivers, roads and houses
constructed from radioactive materials, a skyline that
is never free of poisonous fumes, children who are treated
no better than guinea pigs... |
|
| |
The same journey revealed something
else – something far more important. That people
are fighting for their rights. In Karimugal, Kerala
a community protests outside a contaminating factory
every evening – the film joins them on their 168th
day. The residents of Dodballapur, a small town near
Bangalore, are already protesting and refuse to wait
till the contamination of their water reaches a point
of no return. |
|
|
| |
|
There are also unheard voices – of a village
of deformed children in Jadugora, people all over
Orissa, a schoolgirl in the town of Rishra –
these voices represent people all over the country
who refuse to be fooled and who refuse to passively
accept the ineptness of the bureaucracy, the apathy
of the government and the corruption of the industries.

Filmed in
24 locations, over 60 days by a 2-member crew, Miles
To Go is the story of what may well be one of the most
important journeys ever made in this country.
Miles To Go is a film commissioned
by Greenpeace, produced by Elephant Corridor Films.
