Degradation of values translates into degradation of nature. In a corrupt system, people lose respect for values. With large scale corruption in the natural resource management, people lose respect for nature. The film takes viewers to look at irrational policies (not based on scientific understanding, but on vested interests) in management of rivers, floods, forests, and urban planning; and highlights the results of such distorted practices. Includes flooding of the Kosi River, sandalwood smuggling, illegal taxation (Gujjars of Himalaya), Petrol v/s diesel, Anna Hazare fights corruption, discusses right to recall political representatives in a democracy and the issues of corruption in democratic India.
