The Golden Thread by documentarian Nishtha Jain opens up with a 16-minute long wordless and contemplative sequence. From the lovingly shot lush green of jute plants bending in the wind amid the chirp of birds and insects, to a farmer harvesting them and putting in sheaf, and a natural thread woven by old buzzing machines in dated factory interiors. It evokes a feeling of longing, nostalgia, and indefinite loss… But unfortunately, this doc, or rather a poetic impression, hardly offers anything more than just the sentimental gaze.

Nowadays, their glory days are long over. The demand for jute has dropped over the years, courtesy of plastic domination, and the old-fashioned factories are closing.
