Manthan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Manthan (Hindi: मन्थन, Urdu: منتھن) was a motion picture made in Hindi by Shyam Benegal based in part on the White Revolution that occurred in India during the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The White Revolution ushered an era of plenty from a measly amount of milk production and distribution. Aside from the great measurable success that this project was, it also demonstrated the power of "collective might". A small set of poor farmers of Kheda district in Gujarat had the vision and foresight to act in a way that was good for the society and not for the self alone.
