Episode description

In episode 3, Season 8, we are in conversation with Padma Chebrolu, a force to reckon with.

From a childhood filled with dance, music, and poetry in Guntur, India, to winning 36 international awards as a filmmaker, Padma Chebrolu has always believed in the power of storytelling. But for her, it’s more than just art—it’s activism.

Her latest film, Passage of the River, brings together Indian and Indigenous wisdom, highlighting the sacred connection between nature and humanity.

“Trees, water, air—we don’t just live on this planet, we live with it.” – Padma Chebrolu

In this episode, we talk about:

🌎 The parallels between Indian and Native American traditions

💡 Why environmental awareness starts at home

🌳 How she’s mobilized communities to plant over 11,000 trees

Ask yourself this. What’s one thing you do to stay connected to nature?
