Set against the lush landscapes of Kanha Tiger Reserve, Days in Kanha chronicles the intertwined lives of the Baiga community and the tigers they coexist with. The film centers on Uma, one of the few girls in her village still attending school, whose dreams of becoming a doctor stand apart from traditional expectations. Through her perspective, the documentary captures intimate stories of generational knowledge, cultural memory, and the deep bonds between humans and wildlife.

The narrative also explores contemporary conservation efforts led by The Corbett Foundation, including human-wildlife conflict mitigation, educational programs, veterinary care, and habitat restoration. These initiatives illustrate how modern conservation can coexist with indigenous ways of life, fostering mutual respect between people and nature. Days in Kanha ultimately reflects on enduring relationships, between humans, animals, and ecosystems, and the importance of nurturing coexistence across generations.
