The Brahmaputra River—one of the mightiest rivers on Earth—carves its way through the Himalayas, nourishing millions across China, India, and Bangladesh. But today, it stands at the heart of a growing geopolitical and environmental crisis.

China is moving ahead with the world’s most ambitious hydropower project: a colossal 60-gigawatt dam at the Great Bend in Tibet’s Medog County. This megadam, set to surpass the scale of the Three Gorges Dam, is not just about energy—it’s about control over water, territory, and the future of millions downstream.

In this short documentary, we investigate:

🔹 The strategic and seismic implications of damming the Brahmaputra at its most powerful point

🔹 How India’s northeastern states—Assam and Arunachal Pradesh—could face water scarcity, artificial floods, and ecological collapse

🔹 What’s at stake for wildlife, Indigenous cultures, and fragile ecosystems

🔹 Why regional powers are locked in a dam-building race without a binding water-sharing treaty

🔹 And whether a cooperative, bioregional approach could be the way forward

This film poses a critical question: Will South Asia choose power—or survival?
