Pass
A film on the consequences of linear intrusions on wild animals in India.
83 Indian Leopards died of roadkills in 2019 along with many other protected animals such as the Bengal Tiger, Asian Elephant, snakes, reptiles and many avian species that are unfortunate casualties of such incidents. At least 31 wild animals die or get injured on railway tracks in India every single day. The film titled 'Pass' will document such incidents and through it identify solutions beneficial to all stakeholders of this shared ecology.
