Hope these Assamese filmmakers have the spine to address the communal questions which have raged in Assam for the last 75 years. The xenophobia which resulted in the deaths of thousands of Bengalis. The targeted pogroms against Bengalis and Muslims. The wholesale massacres of minorities like the one at Nellie.
True cinema is about telling truth to society. it’s about upholding a mirror for our society to look into.
Genuinely hope the new-age cine artistes of Assam have both the conscience as well as the conviction.
