Jamna – The River Story takes an in-depth look at the critical state of Delhi's Yamuna River, a once-pure waterway now facing severe ecological collapse. This 38-minute documentary explores the historical neglect and current mismanagement that have contributed to the river's decline. Through interviews with experts and personal testimonies, the film uncovers the systemic indifference of authorities and questions public apathy towards this environmental crisis. Narrated by Shyam, a local boatman whose life is intertwined with the river, the film highlights the Yamuna's deep cultural significance and the devastating impact of its degradation. The documentary is propelled by the unprecedented floods of 2023, which serve as a stark wake-up call. It emphasises the urgent need for action to protect and restore the Yamuna, stressing its importance for ecological balance, cultural heritage, and economic stability.
