Developing Stories Series I
52 minutes
Grades 10-Adult
A film by Manjira Datta for Media Workshop/BBC
A documentary from India about the effects of the highly
touted Green Revolution there. Credited with ensuring that
India is no longer a developing countries "basket-case", the
Green Revolution is widely regarded as one of the most
successful development strategies of the 20th century. But
this film reveals that in India it has helped to create a new
serf class and the dramatic yields of the early years have
fallen away in the wake of pesticide poisoning and the short-
lived miracle wheat strains.
