Directed by Rintu Thomas and Sushmit Ghosh
30 minutes | 2012

A land where the soil has started to breathe againA village that does not exist on the mapA people who celebrate lifeA no-where, no-where land...

When a small farming community in South India decided to switch from their decades-old practice of chemical agriculture to organic farming, little did they know that they were planting the seeds of a silent revolution. By showcasing the exemplary efforts of farmers of a tiny village in Andhra Pradesh, Timbaktu explores critical issues of food security and sovereignty. At its heart, Timbaktu looks at the relationship that a farmer shares with her land, her seeds and raises vital questions about food, the very essence of human life.
