Dau Huduni Methai (2015)

As the insurgency and counterinsurgency in Northeast India continue to claim an alarming number of lives, the very people in whose names these battles are fought are left feeling alienated. "Dau Huduni Methai" recounts the effects of this ceaseless violence through the perspective of Raimali, a young woman who has survived rape. As she lies in an abandoned house, Raimali reflects upon how violence has marred her life, that of her lover and their families, contrasting its intrusive nature with the immutability of the Assamese landscape and its indigenous folklore.
