Language Of Tears


Assam in North East part of India has been facing two major problems - the infiltration of foreigners from neighbouring countries (especially Bangladesh) and the ongoing revolution between the banned separatist group -United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA) and the Indian Government for the past 27 years.

Their cause- Assam has been exploited way too long hence demands an independent Assam, separate from India. In this teaser video (a documentary in the making), Sanchayita, who now lives in London makes a personal journey to her place of birth and talks to the rebels, ex-rebels and their families about their life now and during the past two decades .
