"India's Toxic Tanneries" is a short documentary that investigates the environmental and health impacts of the leather industry in Kanpur, a city situated along the Ganges River. As India's leading leather producer, with 95% of its products destined for Western markets, Kanpur's tanneries discharge dangerous levels of chromium and other pollutants into the air, water, and soil. This contamination has led to severe ecological damage and widespread health issues among local communities. The film exposes the hidden costs of leather production, highlighting the urgent need for environmental and social reforms.
