The Last Hop(e)

Dheeraj Aithal, Pradeep Hegde | India | 19 mins | 2020

LANGUAGE: Kannada, English, Konkani

India is a country where traditionally, the common man has lived in harmony with the natural environment. However, over the last few decades, modernisation and unplanned urbanisation have spread their roots; forests are shrinking and wildlife is constantly subjected to an onslaught of mindless developmental activities.
In this scenario, what is the fate of an animal that has been omnipresent in the fabric of Indian society: the frog?
Is it the last hop for these frogs, or will the common man reconnect with the natural world, to usher in some lasting hope?
