Thariode, tells the story of gold mining in Thariyode, one of the most ancient cities of the Malabar region, a long, narrow coastline on the southwestern shore line of the mainland Indian subcontinent. The film also charts the history of gold mining in other areas of Malabar (Thalappuzha, Devala, Nilagiri, Nilambur and Chaliyar)[8] during the 19th century. The film analyses the impact that gold mining – still one of the dirtiest industries in the world – had on the development of the country, the local livelihoods and the environmental repercussions on nature and the territory.[9][10]
