World Premiere
To say that 14-year-old Jhunka Roy's life was about to change would be an understatement. Set against the beautiful forests and villages of Chittagong, a youth movement was underway, leading up to a drastic revolution. Based on true events in British occupied India of the 1930s, a group of untrained school youth handed the British their first military defeat. Led by a schoolteacher, local villagers and school children showed the power of mass resistance over colonial oppression.
Bedabrata Pain's directorial debut is a coming-of-age tale of triumph, sacrifice and love, as a young boy's determination sets the course for an entire nation's freedom. This progression is what would later spark the first mass peasant movement in India, with the help of Jhunka Roy.
