The last of ten films about development issues in India.
' Next Year, Maybe....'
Since 1977, when the Left Front (Marxist) government came to power in West Bengal, its Comprehensive Area Development Cor. poration has been attempting to introduce some radical changes in 20 districts throughout the state. One is Sonamukhi, about 100 miles from Calcutta, where the panchayat (the village council) has been very active in promoting these changes for the benefit of the rural poor. What have they been able to do for landless labourers like Rahman Mandal, share-croppers like Akbar All Mulllck, and harijans like Somba Bauri and Gangabella?
