A harassed family of Indian Dalits is forced to migrate from Kerala to the Himalayas in veteran Bijukumar Damodaran’s social drama.
electrified audiences in 2013 with its anger at the caste oppression faced by India’s lowliest class, the Dalits, cinema has come a long way in focusing attention on this group of people. Last March, the first Dalit Film Festival victoriously unspooled in New York. Inaward-winning Kerala filmmaker Bijukumar Damodaran expands the discussion to include the fury and healing power of nature, which works alongside age-old discrimination in the lives of a Dalit family from southern India.
The government seems unwilling to help out the disaster victims. Allowed to stay in a public shelter for only a week, the family tries to quickly regroup, but the father’s attempts to do odd jobs end in disaster. Riding a bus home from work one night half dead with fatigue, he is accused of being a pickpocket because of his caste and thrown into jail, only to have the charges dropped in the morning.
