Here is a film that broadens what is sought to be narrowed. It reveals a fierce and thoughtful spirit that continues to flourish in a place and amongst a people that have been brutalised for centuries.

RAM BAHADUR TROPHY
for BEST FILM
"The subcontinent is rife with conflict. There are wars that raged fiercely before burning themselves out. There are conflicts that continue to smoulder, and there are others in which homes are still set on fire driving hundreds of thousands of refugees across borders. In all of these conflicts, it is the civilians who are caught in the middle, they are ones who have to struggle to live and try not to die. The film explores an ongoing conflict that has trapped a people for decades, and how artists find an outlet in the arts and music."
