Clinton, founder and head of a firm of international engineers, arrives
in India to build a dam, bringing with him his young wife, Helen, and a
strong team of aides and skilled men. They are faced with a formidable
challenge, which involves working in daunting mountain and jungle
terrain, within a time schedule dictated by the extreme tropical
weather.
Setbacks occur which bring into focus fundamental differences in the
attitudes to life and death of the British bosses and the Indian
workers. A timely reminder of the British contempt for Indian lives and
for nature.
