A video on Andhra Pradesh Farmers Suicide
This video is " Rough Cut" of PBS television, you'll join FRONTLINE/World correspondent Chad Heeter in verdant Andhra Pradesh, an all agricultural state in eastern India where last summer an average of seven farmers killed themselves every day. In this part of the world, machinery, chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and hybrid seeds -- all of which originated in the West -- often spell disaster rather than prosperity. "This is the other side of globalization," says Heeter, a student at U.C. Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism.
