The return of a sacred drum to an isolated mountain tribe
In short: This documentary follows a journey across the rugged mountains between India and Myanmar to reach one of the world's most secluded communities. It captures a pivotal moment of cultural reclamation for a people long hidden from the modern world.
The film documents Naga leader Visier Sanyu’s expedition to meet the Khiamnungan Naga, known as the People of the Great Sources. The journey serves as a bridge between communities and centers on the Liamké ritual, intended to establish a pact of friendship.
Central to this narrative is the return of a great sacred drum to the village. This act symbolizes a significant cultural revival for the Naga people, who have faced decades of rapid Christianization and plunder by the Myanmar army.
