A powerful and gripping drama that captures the very real threat of climate change, "Kadvi Hawa" is based on true stories from the drought prone Bundelkhand region and the vanishing villages from coastal Odisha and Chambal region of Rajasthan. The idea of making "Kadvi Hawa" first came to Dr. Panda back in 2005 while shooting a documentary on climate change. In his own words, "In Odisha, there were seven villages on a coastal line. They were called 'seven brothers'. But when I reached there, I only saw two of them. I got a shock when I saw two hand-pumps inside water. I heard from people between the age group 60-70 that those hand-pumps were earlier located in the middle of the village."
