A Family and Country Are in Crisis in ‘Our Share of Sand’ (Exclusive Venice Clip) The recent Venice Film Festival premiere of "Our Share of Sand" has brought attention to a pressing issue: India's sand mining crisis and its far reaching consequences.
The film, written and directed by Shalini Adnani, explores the parallels between this environmental disaster and our own world's fragile ecological balance.
Adnani's title is rooted in the reality that sand, a seemingly abundant resource, has become a currency being rapidly depleted. River sand extraction has accelerated erosion and contributed to flooding worldwide.
