SEEDS of DISSENT 
(DV / 2009/ 50 mts)
'Seeds of Dissent' documents Dr. Joshi's cycle yatra from Kanyakumari to Dehradun over a period of two months in Jan'08. During the journey Dr. Joshi meets and interacts with the farmers and raises relevant issues. We see farmers selling land to industries, coming up of SEZ's, farmers being coaxed to take nonviable loans for tractors, issue of farmer’s suicide, preference being given to Industry (Coke) for water, and farmers resorting to distress sale. Dr. Joshi analyses situations and presents his own alternative in the form of a 'farmer’s bank’.
