People have been hunting for food for centuries here. But one day, Uncle Tsilie got inspired to save the forest and endangered bird called "Blyth's Tragopan" as mass destruction of animals was happening with the advent and rampant use of guns in hunting. This movement was started by village elder Tsilie Sakhrie and later followed by Metha and many like him. He along with other tribal hunters in the village of Nagaland give up hunting to save the forest. The community has banned hunting and has taken to farming for livelihood. Now Metha is a practicing farmer and making new house for Eco-tourism. The story is inspiring tale on how people live in tune with Nature. The film follows Metha who turns from the hunter to farmer and his challenges now. The film is largely observational but also has the interviews with village elders Uncle Tsilie. See less
