This project is about India's Gond tribe and the difficulties of those caught up in insurgency groups. It features the stories of some of those affected in the hard-hit Bastar region and found themselves in the crossfire of rebels and government authorities.

The project explores the stories of people beyond the headlines, their beliefs, their identity, the threats to their identity, and their story of struggle and attempt at a better life.
