Pesticides banned or restricted decades ago in most of the world remain in routine use across Indian farms, and this film traces what that has done to the country's food and water. Director Ramesh Menon follows the residue trail from cotton and rice fields into vegetables, milk, and groundwater, with doctors describing rising cancer rates, birth defects, and nervous-system damage in villages near heavily sprayed farmland. Farmers explain why they keep using chemicals they know are dangerous, chasing yields with little guidance on safer alternatives or proper handling. Scientists and public health officials lay out lab results showing pesticide levels in bottled water and produce far above international safety limits, while regulators struggle to explain why enforcement lags so far behind the science. Produced by New Delhi's The Energy and Resources Institute, the film builds its case through testimony and data rather than dramatization, ending on the gap between what is known about the danger and what has actually changed on the ground.
