Battling heat and disability: When The Body Can’t Cool | Mongabay-India x ALT EFF

In Odisha’s rising heat, people with spinal cord injuries face a daily, invisible struggle. For people unable to regulate body temperature or sweat normally, even a slight rise in heat can trigger rashes, pressure sores, infections, or worse. Through the stories of Okele Sahu, who spends his days under a tree for relief, and Kamal, an athlete training against the odds, the film reveals how climate change magnifies disability. Doctors, activists, and health workers explain the medical and systemic gaps, while communities improvise with wet towels and shaded spaces. At its heart, the news documentary asks: how do the most vulnerable survive in a world that keeps getting hotter? This video was produced with the support of the Video Reporting Opportunity 2025 — a joint initiative of Mongabay-India and All Living Things Environmental Film Festival.
