Documentary about life in the villages surrounding the Buxa Tiger Reserve in West Bengal (Shiltong, South Paro, North Paro, Rajabathkava, and Bothia villages).

Villagers struggle to grow enough food, and elephants trample their fields. They were told to resettle elsewhere, but refused to leave their ancestral lands.
