About the film:

'Monsoon – India's God of life' is a fascinating chronicle of how the wildlife of India copes with the dog days of summer, and how the arrival of the south-west monsoon transforms their lives and the land they live in. Filmed in some of India's most spectacular wilderness areas, the cast includes one horned rhinoceros, tiger, elephant, lion- tailed macaque and a host of lesser known animals. Two years in the making, this film was part of the 'WILD ASIA' series produced for international television. It is a Natural History New Zealand production. Shekar Dattatri is the producer and cinematographer of the film.

During the last two decades, he has produced over 20 documentaries, several of which have aired worldwide on international channels such as National Geographic, the Discovery Channel and the BBC. He is the recipient of a Rolex Award for Enterprise, and co-founder of 'Naturequest', a forum in Chennai that seeks to promote greater awareness of wildlife and conservation issues among the general public. He recently received the Prithvi Ratna award for his outstanding contribution to the cause of wildlife conservation.

We look forward to your participation along with your family and friends.

Thanks and regards,
