Global Oneness Project Releases New Film on Land Rights for Farmers in India

Featuring Indian Social Activist Medha Patkar

Free Usage and Distribution Available to Media Outlets

SAN RAFAEL, Calif., Oct. 31 /PRNewswire/ -- A high resolution short film featuring an interview with prominent Indian social activist Medha Patkar on Indian land rights and the plight of farmers in that country is available free for wide distribution from the Global Oneness Project.

In this short film prominent Indian social activist Medha Patkar explains how the economic development model being imposed on India's farmers is neither inclusive nor sustainable. As natural resources become commodities and farming families lose the capacity to fulfill their own basic needs, Ms. Patkar makes the point that the consumerist paradigm may end up destroying living communities.

The 5:37 minute film, titled "A Threat to Living Communities" is shot on location in Delhi using HDV. You can watch the film here: http://www.globalonenessproject.org/video/Medha-Patkar/1
