Event Details : Remembering documentary film maker & civil rights activist C. Saratchandran by screening his following films :-
The Bitter Drink (English/2003/26mins) - 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 corporates in the world - the Coca Cola Company
To Die For Land The Ultimate Sacrifice (English subtitles/2009/30mins) - captures the adivasi land struggle in Chengara, Kerala. Located in Patnamthitta district, Chengara is witness to the occupation by 20000 adivasis of over 2000 acres of land belonging to Harrison Malayalam Company Ltd. For the adivasis who took over this commercial tea plantation land, the occupation is a defiant way to highlight their situation. Over the years, plantation companies with the active support of the government have ensured that the adivasis are now alienated from land that they once called their homes.
