À propos de ce contenu audio

Harvest transports listeners to the beautiful and eerie world of India’s cotton fields. Source of the most intimate and universal of commodities, we find these white-flecked lands pushed to their limit by global pressures.

A young farmer is murdered: everyone thinks they know who did it, but the village holds many secrets. A widow battles to reclaim her dead husband’s land and, despite incredible obstacles, makes a go of farming it alone. Two young men return from the city to take over their family farms: we follow their harvests, their attempts to sell their crop at a profit, their hopes of love and marriage, and their dreams of social change. A moneylender is terrifyingly honest about his own deadly role in this unforgiving system.

Despite the pressures they face, the characters in this unique series maintain profound connections to nature and the sacred. Offering an unprecedented window onto the everyday struggles of these essential producers, Harvest shows how their daily choices shape not just their own futures, but the fabric of the entire world.

This is not only a story of the unbearably difficult and unjust lives of cotton farmers in India. It is a story that also carries important messages to people everywhere about the human cost of a global system that crushes those at the bottom.

A moving and important work
