86 centimetres (trailer)

Bhutan is affected by climate change; dams of the Himalayan glacial lakes are melting very rapidly. This may cause an outburst flooding, destroying land, houses and livelihoods of Bhutanese farmers. From 2009 -2012 350 men and women walk up to reduce the water level of one endangered lake by digging an outlet,… barehanded. The film shows their struggle against a possible disaster.
