Lohit Dairy

Behind the picturesque façade of Lohit Valley in Eastern Arunachal Pradesh hides a dark underbelly. Once traditional but now a cash crop, opium cultivation has brough prosperity to the Mishibi tribe. But the off shoot is drug addiction; its social and psychological upheaval. Three persons strive to reverse this trend in their own little way. Basamlu Krisikro is enrolling opium cultivating Mishimi families into organic tea farming; Tewa Manpong, an ex-drug addict, councils fellow Mishimis into rehabilitation and Uncle Moosa has set up a network of mobile library hoping that the instilled reading habits would wean them away from drugs.
