Sahyadris - Mountains of the Monsoon
This documentary follows the wildlife of these mountains, from the peaks of the High Ranges, where the drama of the Nilgiri tahr rut, never before fully captured on camera takes place during the height of the monsoon, to the thick shoal forests, home to the highly endangered Lion-Tailed Macaque, to the dry decid uous forests at the foothills of the mountains, where elephants and other wildlife wait in expectation for the coming deluge. Also explored is the relationship between spirituality and the strong conservation ethos of India, a land of over a billion people.
