Brief Synopsis
dhīvaraḥ is a short documentary set along the Karnataka coast, following the fishing community of Malpe as the sea they have always known begins to change. What began as a curiosity about the journey of fish from ocean to plate evolved into an intimate portrait of climate uncertainty and cultural resilience — a way of life built on deep, generational knowledge, now increasingly uncertain.
