In the Thar Desert of Rajasthan, the Bishnoi community has followed 29 rules laid down some 600 years ago by their guru Jambaji, rules that command followers to protect trees and animals as a religious duty. The film traces that history back to its founding and forward into the present, following contemporary Bishnoi families who still plant trees, feed wild antelope by hand, and treat conservation as an act of faith rather than policy. Interviews with community members describe episodes of villagers dying to stop tree-fellers, a legacy still cited today as proof of the group's commitment. The documentary moves between desert villages, temples, and the animals themselves, chital deer and blackbuck grazing alongside houses, to show a working relationship between people and wildlife that predates the modern environmental movement by centuries. It presents the Bishnois as a living case study in religiously mandated ecology, letting their daily routines, rituals, and personal accounts carry the argument rather than outside experts.
