Year after year, just after the monsoon season has finished, thousands of families travel to a bleak desert in Gujerat, India, where they will stay for an endless eight months and extract salt from the earth, using the same painstaking, manual techniques as generations before them. Director Farida Pacha spent a season with one of these families, observing the very particular rhythms of their lives.

Liberia, a nation scarred by 14 years of brutal civil war, stands at a critical moment in its history as it heads for its second democratic election in October 2011. This election will decide the country's future course - towards peace and stability or violence and chaos. Assisting the UN peacekeeping operation is a special unit from India - an all-female police contingent. Deployed yearly since 2007, it is the first such unit to ever take part in a peacekeeping mission.
