Thayakam (Mother Land)
Dir : Amita Arudpragasam; 76 min; Documentary; Sri Lanka
Thayakam (motherland) follows a disillusioned environmentalist as he journeys through Sri Lanka’s Northern and Northwestern provinces—regions primarily inhabited by the Tamil-speaking minority and still deeply scarred by 26 years of civil war. In an era of record-breaking global temperatures and soaring carbon emissions, Sri Lanka consistently ranks among the top ten most climate-vulnerable nations in the world.

Dir: Ramdas Kadavallur; 1:07:08 min; Documentary; India

The documentary is a journey through the mindscape of a young woman, who is earnestly longing for the true secularism and coexistence of different communities in India.
