"On the eve of national elections in the Indian village of Peepli, two poor farmers, Natha and Budhia, face losing their land over an unpaid government loan in this Sundance-nominated comedy. "Desperate, they seek help from an apathetic local politician, who suggests they commit suicide to benefit from a government program that aids the families of indebted deceased farmers. When a journalist overhears Budhia urge Natha to 'do what needs to be done' for the sake of their families, a media frenzy ignites around whether or not Natha will commit suicide." (Sundance Film Festival)
