Why Apu? Is a seven-part series that explores that very question why is it being consumed? A pātai which is both complex and complicated, intertwining people, culture, social conditions and the relationship to land and the environment. A combination of historical human impact, environmental degradation, cultural alienation, climate change, natural disasters and multiple government interventions. A situation which has left many locals wondering how they will remain on and in their tribal homelands.
