Dams
have
always
been
a
major
topic
for
controversies.
They
have
satisfied
only
a
minority
group.
Several
environmentalists
have
stood
against
the
construction
of
the
dams
but
their
protests
have
never
been
fruitful.
This
time
there
are
two
film
makers
coming
up
with
a
documentary
and
a
full
length
feature
film
based
on
dam
expressing
their
protest
against
the
walls
build
on
rivers.
Sohan
Roy
is
coming
up
with
his
movie
Dam
999
based
on
dam
disaster.
The
story
revolves
around
a
hundred
year
old
dam
and
populace
living
around
it.
The
movie
raises
the
environmental
issues
that
are
caused
by
the
construction
of
dam
and
how
it
affects
the
inhabitants
in
that
area.
The
movie
readied
to
release
in
December
will
plea
to
protest
against
the
dams
that
are
constructed
for
self
interest.
The
movie
is
a
tribute
to
those
who
live
under
the
terror
of
dam
collapse.
Oscar
winning
film
maker
James
Cameron
has
also
announced
that
he
is
planning
to
shoot
a
3D
movie
on
dam,
which
will
highlight
the
difficulties
of
indigenous
people
of
Brazil,
who
are
facing
displacement
over
the
construction
of
a
dam
on
the
Amazon
river.
Cameron,
who
focused
on
fictitious
Pandora
land
and
its
inhabitants
Na'vi
people
in
blockbuster
Avatar,
wants
to
show
his
support
to
the
local
tribes.
He
has
been
vocal
against
the
construction
of
the
Belo
Monte
hydroelectric
dam
project
on
the
Xingu
River.
Through
the
movies
these
two
film
makers
are
trying
bring
into
light
the
environmental
issues
of
the
dams.
