About the Event
India | English, Hindi, Marathi | 40 mins | Dir. Miriam Chandy Menacherry
Mumbai authorities plan to axe thousands of trees to expand a mass transit system. Home to the 10,000-strong Warli tribe, a scuffle unfolds to protect the forest and the leopard the tribe worships. The Bhoir family finds they are at the forefront of a battle to save the green lungs of India’s financial capital, the last natural forest in a megapolis.
Director, Miriam Chandy Menacherry, will be in attendance for a live Q&A following the film.
LAST DAYS OF SUMMER, the winner of the IMFF 2024 Jury Award for Best Short Film, will proceed the film.
