Buthow can they just stand by and do nothing?As they think of a plan that will work, Priya, a mother herself, thinks of herown little 'cub', her daughter Astha, who lives far away in the town with hergrandmother. Priya is a single mother who lives in a lonely outpost in theforest so she can earn a living. Perhaps the Mama Bear too was 'out at work',foraging for food, when her cubs got into trouble.Based on a real incident, this moving, dramatic story illuminates the hiddenlife of forest guards, the courageous and unsung women and men who worktirelessly to protect India's forests and its wildlife.When I Met the Mama Bear is also a powerful story of mothers-both humanand animal-and their struggle to balance work with bringing up their young.
