Synopsis

Set in India's north-eastern state Assam's insurgency ridden decades beginning from 90s, "Jwlwi- The Seed" is a story of hope lost and found through resolute perseverance even in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. Alaari copes with her husband’s death for over a decade who was killed in a cross firing between rebel cadres and state forces. A new concern emerges for Alaari, in the form of Erak, who is now all grown up, when the political climate is heating up with renewed efforts to rebel against the majoritarian state.  New reports of young Bodo youth joining the separatist movement inspired in their revolutionary zeal by the thoughts of iconic leaders such as Mao and Guevara gain momentum, yet again.Could impressionable lad fall under the influence of the rebels? Will he too feel that he can free the community from generations of oppression through the barrel of a gun? Alaari must save the last seed of her family.
