Three Choices: Move to the slums in the city, accept a place at a resettlement site or stay at home and drown.

The people of Jalsindhi in Central India must make a decision fast or their village will disappear underwater as the Narmada Dam fills.

Bestselling author Arundhati Roy joins the six year  fight against the dam and asks the difficult questions - will the water go to poor farmers or to rich industrialists? This is the story of modern India.
