Focus Years: 2010 | Country: India
Synopsis:
This is the tale of an unfortunate group of people from a forbidden island of deprivation and deception. Once the proud farmers of prosperous villages with lush green farming lands, well-built houses, and access to all social amenities, they are now cursed with a medieval-age life without any basic facilities, such as health, education, or even child immunization. Sandwiched between the political turmoil of two adjacent states, West Bengal and Jharkhand in India, they do not even have mere recognition as citizens of India. In these several years of diligence, they hardly received any attention from either of these two governments, except bitter treatment and a long, seemingly unending silence. As a result, instead of receiving polio vaccines, they have premature deaths, fear instead of schools, and hoodlums instead of hospitals. Neither of the two governments has even issued them voter identity cards. Nobody wants them to vote, or even, probably, to live as human beings. In an approximately 41 minute film, we present our experience with the islanders of the last few years, the uncertainty and agony these people are going through, and the continuous battle for the peace they are fighting for.
