Synopsis

Prompted by the appearance of an amateur video showing an altercation at a mining company, a bright-eyed New Delhi TV reporter investigates the case of Mohan Das in Madhya Pradesh, in central India. She discovers an educated villager who has been offered a job at the Oriental Coal Mines, only to find that after several months of waiting, his job has been filled by an imposter who has assumed his identity. Das tells her of the corruption and conspiracy that have cheated him out of a better life. Legal recourse, despite the help of a strong social advocate lawyer and a favorable judgement, does nothing to resolve his problem, and Das finds himself in limbo.
