YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Indian farmers staged the biggest protest in world history in order to force the government to take back reforms that would have ended an important subsidy. That subsidy was introduced in the 1960's to prop-up an American way of farming intended to save India from famine... but decades later, those techniques are destroying farmers’ health, finances, and land. We explore why protesting farmers can’t afford to quit a system that’s failed them for generations.
