Using undercover footage and stills, Meltdown in Tibet exposes huge and potentially catastrophic dam-building projects in Tibet. To make way for these hydropower projects and for mining ventures, Tibetan nomads are being forced off their traditional grassland habitat-and resettled in bleak villages, where they can’t make a decent living.
