India's Disappearing Beaches - A Wake Up Call (English/14mins/2015)

Director: Shekar Dattatri

Unnoticed by most of us, beaches along India’s coasts are disappearing at an alarming rate. This is not due to natural causes, but directly due to man’s reckless manipulations of the coastline. This film explains the natural dynamics of sea and sand and, using Puducherry’s lost beaches as a case study, demonstrates exactly what happens when inappropriate, or improperly planned, development takes place on the seashore.
