Synopsis
The Punjab, also called “Land of Five Rivers”, is the most fertile region in India. Yet, farmers are no longer able to provide for themselves and go increasingly into debt because multinational companies regulate all the pricing policies and control seeds and pesticides. Candle in the Wind witnesses the silent but nevertheless persistent struggle of women who try to re-negotiate the laws that deprive them of their lands.
