A brief synopsis of the film and a review in the American Anthropologist
below

*Seed Stories (2024). Documentary Film. 42 min, Odiya, Kui, English with
English subtitles*
Director & Cinematography: Chitrangada Choudhury; Associate Director:
Aniket Aga; Editor: Ajay TG; Sound: Asheesh Pandya; Colourist: Srikanth
Kabothu

*Synopsis: *In a village in the Niyamgiri mountains of Odisha's Eastern
Ghats, a heroic effort is underway: barefoot ecologist Dr. Debal Deb and
his 3 member-team are conserving in-situ over 1000 endangered heirloom
varieties of rice. Odisha’s Eastern Ghats region is one of the world’s
surviving biodiversity hotspots, with Adivasi (Indigenous) communities like
the Kondhs possessing the knowledge of growing multiple crops with their
folk seeds, evolved over centuries. At the same time, the village and the
wider region is irreversibly changing with the coming of genetically
modified cotton seeds and associated chemicals. 'Seed Stories' takes a
worm’s eye view of how this is reshaping a geography and a people steeped
in agro-ecological knowledge, and altering their attitudes towards farming,
food and ecology. It invites audiences to reflect on the question, 'What is
sustainability?'
