The Real Avatar: Mine - Story of a Sacred Mountain

UPDATE: Victory! The Dongria Kondh have stopped Vedanta from mining their sacred mountain.



Mine, narrated by Joanna Lumley, tells the story of the remote Dongria Kondh tribe's struggle to protect Niyamgiri, the mountain they worship as a God. London-based mining company Vedanta Resources plans a vast open-pit bauxite mine in India's Niyamgiri hills, and the Dongria Kondh know that means the destruction of their forests, their way of life, and their mountain God.
