Jadugoda is an area in the state of Bihar populated by the indigenous Adivasi people. It first came into prominence when uranium deposits were discovered in the area, since Jadugoda is India's only underground uranium mine. The film documents the devastating effects of uranium mining by Uranium Corporation of
India Limited in Jadugoda. For the last thirty years, the radioactive wastes have been just dumped into the rice fields of the Adivasis. Film website: http://shriprakash.com/films/jaadugoda-the-black-magic/
