Synopsis:
"Promised Land and the Broken Promises" is the story of the struggle for land and land rights in Kerala, India. Land has become increasingly a potent and volatile issue in India today, especially in the context of the contemporary neo-liberal policies of the State. The struggles for land by Dalits and Adivasis are on the rise. In and through three representative heroic land struggles in the state of Kerala, India – Muthanga, Chengara and Moolampilly – this academic movie maps the trajectory of ‘broken promises’, seemingly a never ending predicament of the excluded and the displaced in Kerala, a state known for its revolutionary land reforms in the 1970s and for the political rhetoric thereafter.
