Programme
Activism and
Films:
Speakers include Professor A K Ramakrishnan, Vijayan MJ, Aanchal
Kapur and Sanjay Kak
Screenings:
The Bitter Drink (2003)
26 mins/ English
This film documents the
formative days of a David and Goliath battle. The people of Plachimada
(in Kerala), a majority of them tribals, launched a struggle against one
of the most powerful corporations in the world - the Coca Cola Company.
To die for land – the ultimate sacrifice (2009)
30 mins/English subtitles
This film captures the
dalit-adivasi land reclamation struggle in Chengara, Kerala. Located in
Pathanamthitta district, Chengara is witness to the occupation, by some
5000 dalit-adivasi families, of over 2000 acres of land illegally
claimed by the Harrison Malayalam Company Ltd. For the people who took
over this commercial rubber plantation, the occupation is a defiant way
to highlight their situation - over the years, plantation companies in
collusion with state agencies have ensured that dalits and adivasis are
now alienated from their ancestral homes.
