(The Fire Within)
This documentary is a portrait of a painful transformation. The land of the Tana Bhagats, a peaceful sect of the Oraon tribe who follow a Gandhian lifestyle and philosophy, is today besieged by Naxalite violence. In tracing the impact of the underground Maoist
guerrillas, the film touches upon corruption, the mafia, energy politics and displacement of villages, and tribal identity in an area where Coal has been mined for the last 150 years.
