"High Power" lets the people who live around Tarapur Atomic Power Station in Maharashtra tell the story of India’s oldest and largest nuclear power station. It has a capacity of 1400 MW units of power, yet even after 45 years of operation, the town of Tarapur that gave the power plant its name goes without power for 6 to 8 hours every day. Meanwhile residents of the town complain of higher incidence of cancer and other diseases because of radiation from the plant.
