Director: Kannan Arunasalam | Producer: Kannan Arunasalam
Focus Years: 2011 | Country: Sri Lanka
Synopsis:
Bala Tampoe has been a trade union leader for over 50 years. He talks about his work as head of the Ceylon Mercantile Industrial and General Workers Union, how he overcame his fear of physical violence, as well as the psychology behind a strike.
This portrait is part of the 'I Am' series, a multimedia project looking at identity through the lives of Sri Lankan elders and Sri Lanka's regional identity. The project is trying to engage people with oral history and, through the wisdom of these wonderful elders, to challenge perceptions of identity and explore how this could help bring communities together. 36 portraits of Sri Lankan elders are shown through sound and image.
